Chelsea 'agree deal with Borussia Dortmund to loan out Michy Batshuayi'

Chelsea have reportedly struck a deal with Borussia Dortmund to send Michy Batshuayi to the club on loan.

The Belgian international has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge due to his lack of game time.

Under manager Antonio Conte this season, the forward has started 10 games in all competitions and made a further 14 appearances off the bench.

In that time, Batshuayi has scored 10 goals, but it has become evident that the 24-year-old does not fit into the coach's plans.

According to the Daily Mail, a deal has been agreed between the Blues and Dortmund for the striker, who is keen to move to Germany in order to boost his chances of claiming a place in Belgium's World Cup squad.

The report adds that Conte will demand a replacement ahead of Wednesday's transfer deadline.
