Tottenham Hotspur should consider a move for the Chelsea front-man.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate to bolster his attacking ranks at White Hart Lane this summer, in an effort to build a squad of players who are capable of ending their 10-year wait for a major trophy.
According to a report from the London Evening Standard, Poch is keen to sell both Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen this summer, meaning that he will surely be targeting an established striker to compete with Harry Kane.
With this in mind, Spurs should consider a move for Chelsea hitman Michy Batshuayi, with the Belgian facing an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge.
The 24-year-old joined the Blues from Marseille in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £33.2 million, but he has so far failed to establish himself in west London.
He enjoyed a successful loan spell with Borussia Dortmund during the second half of last season, however, scoring nine goals in 14 appearances for the Bundesliga giants, and proving that he still has a lot to offer at the very highest level.
Batshuayi is incredibly quick, and is at his best when operating on the shoulder of the last defender.
His willingness to run in behind the opposition’s defence would provide Poch with an entirely different option through the middle, and his differing qualities to Harry Kane would make the duo compatible as a pair.
The England international needs to be kept on his toes this season, if he is to reach another level, and Batshuayi could be just the man for the job.
Whether Chelsea would entertain selling the Belgian to their bitter rivals is doubtful, however, but Tottenham should test the waters with an enquiry nevertheless.
