West Ham United are in talks with Chelsea about signing striker Michy Batshuayi on loan in January, according to reports.

West Ham United have enquired about signing Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan in January, according to reports.

The Hammers are currently battling relegation from the Premier League, having won just four league games this season.

Meanwhile, the Belgium international has only played 77 minutes in a Blues shirt since his £33m summer move from Marseille.

According to The Sun, West Ham have contacted Chelsea to try to land Batshuayi until the end of the campaign as a replacement for Simone Zaza, who looks set to leave East London.

Batshuayi played for Marseille between 2014 and 2016, scoring 26 goals in 62 appearances.
