Manchester United and Chelsea could offload players on this La Liga club
VALENCIA are reportedly planning January bids for Premier League duo Marcos Rojo and Michy Batshuayi.
Rojo goes in for two-footed tackle on Zaha
The owner of La Liga side Valencia, Peter Lim, is said to be keen on signing players next month as the club flirts with relegation.
Spanish newspaper Super Deporte claims the club have already identified West Ham loanee Simone Zaza as a viable New Year target.
And another newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, report that swoops for further Premier League stars are on the cards.
According to the claims, Valencia want to sign Manchester United centre-back Rojo and Chelsea forward Batshuayi, as well as Celta Vigo's John Guidetti.
Rojo has been a mainstay in the United defence this season and it may take a sizeable offer for manager Jose Mourinho to part with the centre-back.
But Batshuayi, 23, may be let go after starting just three games for Chelsea since his £33million move from Marseille this summer.

Diego Costa has remained manager Antonio Conte's first-choice striker in the Blues' 3-4-3 system, leaving Batshuayi on the bench for much of the campaign.
And Valencia are struggling for goals, having scored just 21 times in La Liga this season.
Batshuayi also recently came under fire from pundit Jamie Redknapp, who said: “I would look for cover up front (at Chelsea). Unlike Costa, Michy Batshuayi doesn't look the most intelligent of forwards."
