The bookies reckon the Chelsea man could be on his way to Crystal Palace.
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have slashed the odds on Crystal Palace signing Chelsea hitman Michy Batshuayi before the transfer window slams shut tomorrow.
Roy Hodgson has made no secret of his desire to add another established forward to his ranks at Selhurst Park before the end of the window.
The Eagles currently sit in 13th position in the Premier League table, but are only three points clear of the drop zone, so an injection of quality and experience will surely be a necessity for them, if they are to enjoy a successful campaign.
Palace have scored just 22 goals in the 24 Premier League games they have played so far this season – the sixth worst tally in the division, so their need for an accomplished forward is obvious.
SkyBET believe that one of their targets could be Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi, and list them as 3/1 second favourites in the race to sign him, behind Borussia Dortmund at 4/5.
The former Marseille man has played a peripheral role for Antonio Conte’s side this season, but has still managed to score 10 goals in 24 outings, with the majority of those coming from the substitutes bench.
He still has plenty to offer at the very highest level, and and would surely be a useful addition to Palace’s squad, if they do in fact manage to get a deal over the line to sign him.
