Sevilla favourites to sign Batshuayi?

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has reportedly started to attract interest from Sevilla.

After spending much of the season on the bench, Batshuayi has been linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer with clubs from the Premier League and Ligue 1 known to be keen on his signature.

However, according to Don Balon, Sevilla could have moved to the front of the queue for the Belgian international due to being able to offer Champions League football.

West Ham United could provide a short-term stay across London and a return to Marseille would likely appeal to Batshuayi, but neither club are competing at European football's top table.

Batshuayi could still remain in West London, but it would likely take Diego Costa to leave the Blues or for the potential transfer of Everton striker Romelu Lukaku to not go through.

The 23-year-old scored nine goals in 28 appearances this season, but he made just one start in the Premier League.
