West Ham United are believed to be showing considerable interest in Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi.

Sky Sports is reporting that the Hammers are back in the fray for the Belgian striker, who they pursued in the summer, prior to his eventual move to Stamford Bridge.

Batshuayi, 23, has found opportunities hard to come by under Antonio Conte and continues to be linked with a January exit from the current Premier League leaders.

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is desperate to lure a goalscorer to the London Stadium to improve the East London club's scoring output of 23 goals from 20 league matches.

However, Batshuayi is also being linked with a loan move to Swansea City as Conte is reportedly very keen on Fernando Llorente and could be compelled to become involved with a swap deal.

West Ham have already been unsuccessfully in pursuit of Sunderland's Jermain Defoe and Brentford's Scott Hogan this month and have now turned their attention to former Olympique Marseille man Batshuayi.
