Rumours circulate thanks to club President

According to reports, Arsenal and Chelsea will go head-to-head in the race to sign Marseille centre-forward Michy Batshuayi.

Fichajes.net claim that the Gunners are the front-runners for the Belgium international, however, Jose Mourinho’s Blues are said to be interested after Batshuayi’s price tag was revealed by a very strong source.

Marseille’s club President Labrune Vincent has recently stated that their star man could be sold for around £24.5 million.

One of Europe’s hottest prospects

“Any club interested in having Michy Batshuayi’s services will have to pay 35 million euros (£24.5m),” admitted Vincent.

“Right now he is one of the most closely watched market players.”

The 22-year old has scored nine goals in all competitions for the French club this campaign.
