Crystal Palace encouraged in plans for Chelsea striker Batshuayi

Crystal Palace have been buoyed by news surrounding Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

The Belgian is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer in search of more playing time.

Palace took Batshuayi on loan for the second-half of last season and want to complete a permanent deal this summer.

And The Sun reports Batshuayi is keen on staying in London if he departs the Blues.

With the 26-year-old entering the last year of his deal, Palace will be hoping to sign him for far less than the £45m they were quoted in January.
