Chelsea boss Conte: Batshuayi will leave if...

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte admits Michy Batshuayi can leave if a striker signing is made.

Chelsea are in advanced talks with Roma for Edin Dzeko.

When talking about Batshuayi's situation, Conte admitted he is prepared to grant the Belgian's wish to go.

He said: "It's the same as Kenedy. If arrives another striker, then Batshuayi will go on loan. I think he wants to have the opportunity to play with regularity. I think this is right.

"If we stay with the same players from the start of the season, it doesn't change. One player goes out, one player comes in. One player comes in, one player goes out.

"I think we have to try in every moment to be honest with our players. I don't know if another striker will arrive for Chelsea.

"But, in this case, I don't want to send away any player. But a lot of times it's the player saying he prefers to go away to have the possibility to play regularly. Then you have to show you deserve to play every game."
