West Ham will have to buy Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi outright if they want him.
The Hammers are among a number of clubs interested in the £33million striker, who is on the way out of Stamford Bridge this summer after one disappointing season.
Batshuayi, bought from Marseille to provide competition for Diego Costa this season, has failed to make a single start in a Premier League campaign set to end with the Blues ‘ second title in three years.
Chelsea have little interest in loaning him out, though.
