Tottenham edging close towards Marseille star Batshuayi

Tottenham Hotspur are believed to be locked in talks regarding Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi.

According to L'Equipe, Spurs are in advanced negotiations with Batshuayi's representatives regarding a summer transfer.

The North London club were heavily linked with the 22-year-old Belgian leading up to the January transfer window but Marseille were not willing to sell their prized asset.

West Ham United are also very keen on Batshuayi, who has 15 goals in all competitions this season, but it is believed that Spurs may win the race come season's end, especially if they quality for the Champions League, or better yet, win the Premier League title.
