Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has absolutely no interest in joining West Ham United, according to the Guardian.

Batshuayi has been linked with West Ham recently, with the striker seemingly a long-term target of David Moyes.

However, the Belgian has no interest in moving to the London Stadium, even after a season where he has barely featured for Chelsea. 

Frank Lampard has constantly overlooked Batshuayi, with Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham ahead of him in the pecking order.

Chelsea have also signed Timo Werner and are expected to bring in Kai Havertz for next season, which could limit Batshuayi’s chances even further.

However, the striker, who is on a £120,000-a-week deal at Stamford Bridge, apparently has no desire to join West Ham.

Moyes may now need to look for other strikers, if he looks to find a new number nine this summer.

Michail Antonio has impressed up-front for West Ham more recently, but he remains more comfortable out wide, while Sebastian Haller has struggled in his first season in the Premier League.
