Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi shows off dance moves in his 'personal museum'
The Blues boss worked with Swansea’s striker at Juventus and he remains a big fan of the 31-year-old.
Chelsea are short of strikers with little in reserve beyond Diego Costa at Stamford Bridge.
£33million summer signing Batshuayi has failed to adapt to the Premier League as yet, and Antonio Conte has opted to utilise winger Eden Hazard up front at times.

Conte is open to bringing in new players in the transfer window, especially following the £52m departure of Oscar.
And according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Llorente could yet link up with the Italian boss again in west London.
The Spain international has impressed in his short spell at the Liberty Stadium despite Swansea’s struggles this season.
With Llorente showing his class in the Premier League, Conte is apparently keen on bringing him in as a familiar back-up to Costa amid the Blues’ title charge.

As a result, Batshuayi could yet leave on loan until the end of the season to help him settle in England.
West Ham and Crystal Palace, who Batshuayi snubbed in favour of Chelsea in the summer, are both seen as possible destinations, the report claims.
The London clubs are in the market for a striker this month and are keen to land the Belgium international.

My experience with Conte at Juve was fantastic
Fernando Llorente
Conte’s public reluctance to let him go has edged both sides towards other targets, but Slaven Bilic and Sam Allardyce would reignite their pursuits if 23-year-old Batshuayi becomes available - even if it is on a short-term basis.
This week, Llorente said: “The truth is that I don’t know anything about [Chelsea’s interest]. Now I am focused exclusively on Swansea, in the complicated situation that we have ahead.”
