Tottenham allowed to open talks with rivals Chelsea over loan star Batshuayi

Michy Batshuayi is still looking for an escape route from his nightmare loan move from Chelsea to Valencia, as rivals Tottenham begin talks over a possible deal, Goal understands.

Chelsea are unwilling to loan their 25-year-old striker to Spurs so they would only entertain a permanent deal from their fiercest rivals, while they are also asking for around £35 million ($46m).

Everton were also interested in the Belgium international but have been scared off by the asking price, while West Ham have failed in their attempts over a loan deal.
