Michy Batshuayi 'closes in on Chelsea loan exit' as La Liga giants Sevilla enter the race to sign out-of-favour striker

Michy Batshuayi could be set for a loan move away from Chelsea after failing to cement a place in Antonio Conte's first-team.

Sevilla are one of the clubs keen on securing his signature, with Spanish publication El Desmarque reporting that they want to do a deal in the January window.

It is understood Chelsea are willing to let him leave on a temporary basis, but only if they sign a replacement striker beforehand.
