Michy Batshuayi rejects Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace for Chelsea move

Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi is reportedly on the verge of joining Chelsea after snubbing Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur.

The Belgium international, who is currently competing at Euro 2016, has been in high demand following an impressive season in Ligue 1, in which he scored 17 goals.

West Ham United, Juventus and Tottenham have been registered with an interest, while Palace are believed to have submitted a £31.5m bid, which was accepted by the club.

According to The Guardian, though, Batshuayi prefers a move to Chelsea, who tabled a £33.2m offer in the last 24 hours.

The 22-year-old, who scored in Belgium’s 4-0 win over Hungary on Sunday, is expected to become Antonio Conte‘s first signing as Chelsea manager.
