Leeds United and Southampton are reportedly among a number of Premier League clubs who are interested in signing Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.
The 28-year-old is currently on loan at Besiktas, where he has scored 14 Super Lig goals in 28 appearances, but the Turkish club do not intend to recruit the striker on a permanent deal this summer.
According to TEAMtalk, Leeds, Southampton, Brighton & Hove Albion, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers are all contemplating a move for Batshuayi ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
Batshuayi surprisingly extended his contract with Chelsea until June 2023 before joining Besiktas on a season-long loan deal in August last year, but the Belgium international is expected to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer.
Since joining Chelsea in 2016, Batshuayi has been sent out on loan five times – moving temporarily to Besiktas, Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Crystal Palace twice – and he last made a senior appearance for the Blues in February 2020.
Unnamed teams in Spain, Italy and Germany are also understood to have made contract with Batshuayi's representatives.
