West Ham make late move for Chelsea striker Batshuayi

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi is expected on the move today from Valencia.

Sky Sports says the Belgian striker is being lined up by West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini before tomorrow's transfer deadline.

Batshuayi is still technically on loan at Valencia but has been frozen out of the first-team picture in recent months.

There is still enough time for his loan to be terminated should a new club come forward.

And it's understood West Ham are close to offering Batshuayi an escape route after suffering a number of injuries in attack.
