Crystal Palace are ready to send Michy Batshuayi back to Chelsea.

The London Evening Standard says the Eagles are looking to bolster their attacking options when the transfer window opens and a new centre forward is believed to be a priority.

Crystal Palace signed Chelsea striker Batshuayi on loan in January and he has gone on to score three goals in 11 appearances for them.

However, the deal to take the Belgian to Selhurst Park did not contain an option for Palace to make the move permanent this summer.

As a result, Batshuayi is expected to return to Chelsea at the end of the season and resolve his future with the Blues.
