Insider reveals minders 'say Batshuayi wants to stick with Chelsea, but...'

Michy Batshuayi has decided to stay with Chelsea.

The Belgium striker has been linked with Fenerbahce and a return to Marseille.

However, Florian Holsbeek, the editor of Walfoot, told Football Club de Marseille: "It seems credible to me but ... I talked a little with his managers recently, Michy's will for now, is to enjoy the season in Chelsea.

"Since Diego Costa does not want to come back and Chelsea has not yet transferred a new number 9, I think he wants to take advantage of this situation, score points with (Antonio) Conte and obviously try to win over there.

"They're really waiting to see what Chelsea are going to do. Because obviously in a corner of his head, there is the World Cup at the end of the year and places will be tough with Belgium. He refused an offer from Fenerbahçe, and that's a real info. He really wants to try to win in Chelsea."
