Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi on loan before the end of the transfer window.
The 28-year-old is back at Stamford Bridge this summer after spending the 2021-22 campaign on loan at Besiktas, scoring 14 times in 33 league appearances for the club.
Batshuayi has also recently had loan spells at Valencia and Crystal Palace, and he is widely expected to leave the Blues on another short-term deal in the coming weeks.
Everton have been credited with an interest in the Belgium international, but according to the Daily Mail, Wolves have also been in touch with Chelsea to discuss a possible move.
Batshuayi only has another 11 months left to run on his contract with Thomas Tuchel's side.

Meanwhile, Fulham have reportedly been in touch with Roma to discuss a possible deal for Justin Kluivert.
West Ham United were linked with the Dutchman earlier this summer, with Roma said to be open to letting him leave during this summer's transfer window.
According to the Daily Mail, Fulham are currently in talks with the Italian giants over a possible deal, with a fee in the region of £8m thought to be required to sign him.
The 23-year-old has been with Roma since 2018, but he has recently spent time out on loan at both RB Leipzig and Nice, scoring four time in France's top flight last term.

Elsewhere, Nottingham Forest have reportedly started discussions with Southampton over a possible deal for Che Adams.
The 26-year-old's future has been the subject of much speculation in recent days, with Leeds United also believed to be keen to sign him before the end of the window.
According to Football Insider, Forest have now opened talks with the Saints, who are seemingly willing to let the Scotland international depart for the right price this summer.
Adams has scored 20 Premier League goals in 96 appearances for Southampton since making the move from Birmingham City in the summer of 2019.
Last term, the centre-forward netted seven times in the Premier League, following on from the nine that he registered during the 2020-21 campaign.

Meanwhile, former Liverpool captain Jamie Carragher has claimed that no leading club in Europe wants to sign Cristiano Ronaldo during this summer's transfer window.
Ronaldo is believed to be determined to leave Manchester United before the deadline, as he looks to continue playing in the Champions League, but Carragher has said that the Portuguese could struggle to find a suitor.
"I always thought he [Ronaldo] was a bizarre signing. I always felt this situation would come, even if Ronaldo did great for you [Manchester United]," Carragher told The Overlap.
"He signed a two-year deal plus another year, which I couldn't believe, and he's never going to play second fiddle to anyone but as players at a certain stage in your career we all know that you're not the same player, and his career has gone on longer because he's such a great professional.
"But the fact he's now 37, 38 this season, he's not the same player. He's still a great goal scorer but he's not the same player. No other club in Europe at this moment wants him, I might be wrong."
Ronaldo played 45 minutes of Man United's pre-season friendly with Rayo Vallecano last weekend and could now start against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Sunday due to Anthony Martial's hamstring problem.
