Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi is reportedly a possible transfer target for AC Milan, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Premier League side, who currently sit seventh in the top-flight standings following their 2-0 victory over Hull City last time out, only brought in the Belgium international during this year’s summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old, who has seven international caps for Belgium, has scored three goals and provided one assist in seven appearances in all competitions for the Blues so far this season.

However Batshuayi, who arrived at Stamford Bridge from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille back in July following his reported £33m transfer, is yet to start a Premier League fixture under manager Antonio Conte and is behind main forward Diego Costa in the pecking order.

This has reportedly alerted AC Milan to the Belgian’s possible availability, with the Italian giants set to be monitoring the striker’s current situation closely, having played just 53 minutes of top-flight football so far this term in his five substitute appearances.
