European side closing in on signature of Chelsea attacker

Chelsea are extremely active in the market on Deadline Day, as Maurizio Sarri looks to finalise the squad ahead of his debut season in the Premier League.

The Blues have already landed goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga from Athletic Bilbao and loaned Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid, with Thibaut Courtois moving the other way to join the Champions League winners.

Another player could follow the Belgium goalkeeper to Spain, as El Desmarque state that Valencia are extremely confident of signing Michy Batshuayi on loan from the west London side.

Batshuayi has struggled for first team football at Stamford Bridge and has fallen down the pecking order in the past 12 months following the signings of Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud, spending the second half of the season on loan with Borussia Dortmund.

A move to Spain will allow Batshuayi to play in the Champions League and Valencia have until the end of August to negotiate a deal.
