The Chelsea-owned hitman would be a superb addition for Aston Villa.
Aston Villa will be playing Premier League football next season for the first time since 2016, and Dean Smith will need to bolster his ranks accordingly, if he is to guide his side to a successful top flight campaign.
One area where the Villans will be keen to strengthen is their centre-forward department.
It is unclear as to whether Tammy Abraham will make his move to Villa Park on a permanent basis, and with this in mind, Smith should be keeping an open mind on potential transfer targets.
One possible option for them, as ambitious as it may seem, is Chelsea hitman Michy Batshuayi.
The Belgian spent the second half of the seasons on loan with Crystal Palace, scoring six goals, and whilst the Eagles will surely want to make his move to south London permanent, Aston Villa should challenge them for his signature.
The 25-year-old, who joined Chelsea for £33m in the summer of 2016 according to BBC Sport, possesses blistering pace, and would offer Villa something entirely different through the middle in the final third.
He is a clinical finisher, and would surely thrive at Aston Villa, considering the fact that he would be extremely hungry to prove that he has what it takes to be a success in the Premier League.
The Belgian has fantastic movement, and is exactly the kind of player the west Midlands outfit will need upon their return to the top flight.
It will not be easy to tempt Batshuayi into moving to Aston Villa, but Smith must do everything he can to make it happen nevertheless.
