#2 Michy Batshuayi (Chelsea)
The £33m summer signing from Marseille has played only 84 minutes of football in the Premier League this season. With talisman Diego Costa firing on all cylinders, and manager Antonio Conte opting to field Eden Hazard as a false nine when Costa is unavailable, the Belgian striker has failed to get much playing time and he is one player who really needs a loan move to get his career up and running.
The Italian manager earlier revealed that the Belgian international would not be allowed to go on loan, although recent reports have stated that Chelsea are looking to sign Swansea striker Fernando Llorente, as an understudy to Diego Costa. This would increase the chance for a potential loan move, with Batshuayi attracting a lot of suitors, most prominent of them being Premier League club West Ham United.
Sky Sports’ Guillem Balague has said the striker could move to the Hammers, with Michail Antonio moving to Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Sky Italy’s Gianluca Di Marzio reports that a swap loan deal between Chelsea and Swansea for Llorente and Batshuayi is also being discussed. Either way, a departure from Chelsea seems very likely.
