Borussia Dortmund will make summer bid for Chelsea striker Batshuayi

Borussia Dortmund will bid to sign Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi at the end of this season.

Dortmund will try again in the summer though the stance of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich indicates Batshuayi may have greater opportunities after the World Cup.
