Former Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino can't see a future at Stamford Bridge for Michy Batshuayi.

Cascarino, who played 40 games for the Blues, says it's curtains for the former Marseille man.

He told The Times: “When you are at a club and they are trying to sign a 32-year-old, 6ft 4in striker who would make you the third-choice No 9, then it's clear the manager doesn't rate you.

“That's the situation Batshuayi has found himself in at Chelsea.

"And even though Antonio Conte didn't sign Fernando Llorente, he's still trying to not play Batshuayi.

“Against Manchester City last month, Conte replaced the injured Alvaro Morata with Willian after 35 minutes, then when they were chasing a goal against Crystal Palace he subbed Batshuayi on 57 minutes.

“How many arrows can be fired into his back?

“Conte clearly doesn't rate him and that rubs off on the fans, who think he's not good enough.

“It's clear that his future lies elsewhere and I think he will leave the club in January."
