West Ham to make summer move for Marseille ace Batshuayi

West Ham United are reportedly preparing to table a £20million bid for Marseille's Michy Batshuayi during the summer.

The Daily Mail is reporting the Hammers will utilise agent Mark McKay, who played a key role in the signing of Dimitri Payet from the Ligue 1 outfit, to broker the deal.

It is understood crosstown-rivals Tottenham are remaining interested in Batshuayi, who has already scored 15 goals for Marseille this campaign, but the Hammers are hoping to get a leg-up for the promising 22-year-old Belgian.
