Marseille lining up return for Chelsea striker Batshuayi

Olympique Marseille are lining up a return for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

Marseille management see Batshuayi as a replacement for Mario Balotelli.

Balotelli signed for OM in January - on a six month deal - and is expected to leave this summer.

As such, OM chief Andoni Zubizarreta is seeking a replacement and Le 10 Sport says Batshuayi has popped up on the radar.

The Belgian spent two years with OM before moving to Chelsea and is available from the Londoners despite their transfer ban.
