West Ham have failed with bids to take Batshuayi to the London Stadium in the last two transfer windows and are hoping it’s a case of third time lucky.
Batshuayi was a target for the East London side before he opted to move to Stamford Bridge from Marseille last July.
West Ham are determined to sign Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi in the summer
But the move has turned out to be nothing short of a disaster for Batshuayi, 23, who has struggled to hold down a regular first-team place at Chelsea.
He has only made 24 appearances in all competitions ironically making his debut on the opening day of the season against Slaven Bilic’s side.
The Hammers are keen to try and get some early transfer business agreed after struggling for the whole of last summer to get players into the club.
Batshuayi is contracted to Chelsea until the summer of 2021.
