Newcastle rival West Ham for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi

Newcastle United have joined the battle for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

West Ham are keen to land a striker in the summer and have a long-term interest in Batshuayi.

The Hammers attempted to sign him permanently last summer but he opted for a switch to Stamford Bridge instead.

The London side are set to face competition from newly promoted Newcastle, says Mirror.

Rafa Benitez is keen to add quality to his side to ensure they won't be stuck in a relegation scrap ahead of next season.

Batshuayi scored five league goals last season including the decisive goal at West Brom to seal the title.
