Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi closing in on loan move to Sevilla?

Sevilla are reportedly confident that they will be successful in their attempts to sign Michy Batshuayi on loan from Chelsea.

The Belgium international has struggled to make a significant impact at Stamford Bridge since his £33m switch from Marseille in the summer of 2016.

In total this season, the forward has made 19 appearances in all competitions, but only two of those outings were Premier League starts.

Despite his bit-part role, Batshuayi has still managed to score seven goals, but according to ESPN, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is willing to offload the striker to Sevilla on loan if he can find a replacement.

One man who could potentially fill the spot is Andy Carroll, whose club West Ham United fear that the hitman will force a move.
