Michy Batshuayi ’s future at Chelsea is in doubt after the club began searching for a new striker to sign in Janaury.

Manager Antonio Conte had told his board he needs more attacking options in his squad come January.

And Batshuayi's unconvincing display in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to bottom club Crystal.

The Belgian was given a rare starting opportunity against Palace with Alvaro Morata missing through injury.

But he was subbed off ten minutes into the second half having failed to make any impact on the game.

According to the Sun, three strikers have been shortlisted to replace the former Marseille forward.
