Aston Villa want to sign Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan in this month’s transfer window, according to a report on Sport Witness.
The Belgian international is heavily out-of-favour at Stamford Bridge, struggling to win a place in the starting team due to Tammy Abraham’s fine form.
Villa are on the hunt for a forward, especially after the injury suffered by Wesley in the victory over Burnley on New Year’s Day.
According to reports in France, Villa want an initial loan deal but also want the option to sign him permanently at the end of the loan.
The Blues are understood to be open to listening to offers for the 26-year-old, who wants to be playing regular football.

Batshuayi would be the ideal striker to bring in. He has done well in most of his loan spells and helped Crystal Palace massively when he went there on loan.
He will also be playing with a point to prove because the Euro 2020 is fast approaching and he’ll be desperate to get a place in the squad.
Batshuayi offers goals and with Grealish behind him, they could form a deadly duo.
