Michy Batshuayi will reportedly ask for a loan move in the summer
Michy Batshuayi has not started a single Premier League game for Chelsea this season since joining for £33million from Marseille.
The Belgium international has struggled to compete with Diego Costa and has been unable to break into the side even in the Spain international's absence.
Antonio Conte favoured Pedro as a striker for the games against Bournemouth and Leicester which Costa missed through suspension and injury.

And the London Evening Standard claim Batshuayi has had enough of sitting on the bench and will demand a loan move in the summer.
The report says the 23-year-old will await to see what Conte's plans are for him for next season.
And if he cannot be guaranteed regular first-team football then he will seek a temporary move - with West Ham a possibility.
The Hammers reportedly tried to get Batshuayi last year and are said to retain an interest in the Belgian star.
He has made 21 appearances for Chelsea this season in all competitions, scoring five goals and providing three assists.
He is under contract at Stamford Bridge until June 2021.
