West Ham set to miss out on Batshuayi for third time

West Ham could be about to miss out on Michy Batshuayi for a third time.

According to a report in The Sun the Chelsea striker could be on his way to La Liga where Seville can offer him a route into the Champions League.

Slaven Bilic is a massive fan of the Belgian striker but lost out to Chelsea last summer when Batshuayi was on the move from Marseille. In January Chelsea knocked back the chance to send the 23-year-old on loan to West Ham.

Bilic is looking to implement major changes this summer in a bid to earn a new contract and wanted Batshuayi to lead the line with his mobility and eye for goal.

Seville are expected to appoint current Celta Vigo boss Eduardo Berizzo as their new manager with Batshuayi expected to be his first choice signing target.

West Ham are looking at a number of striker options but it’s clear that the Chelsea man is Bilic’s first choice.
