Chelsea are reluctant to allow Michy Batshuayi to join Aston Villa.

The Belgian has served primarily as a back-up to Tammy Abraham at Stamford Bridge this season.

Villa have enquired about signing Batshuayi on loan until the end of the season, per Goal.

Dean Smith has lost striker Wesley for the rest of the campaign due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

But Frank Lampard is not willing to allow 26-year-old Batshuayi leave, despite him making zero starts in the Premier League this season.
