Wilmots confirms Batshuayi medical ahead of expected Chelsea switch

Michy Batshuayi looks to be edging closer to a move to Chelsea after Marc Wilmots revealed he had attended a medical.

Marc Wilmots has confirmed that Michy Batshuayi left Belgium's Euro 2016 base this week to undergo a medical ahead of his expected move to Chelsea.

The Marseille striker, who scored in Belgium's 4-0 last-16 demolition of Hungary on Sunday, is widely reported to be edging closer to a switch to Stamford Bridge after netting 17 Ligue 1 goals last season.

And the 22-year-old was given special dispensation to attend a medical.

"He did not ask for my advice," said Wilmots.
