Michy Batshuayi is finally on his way out of Stamford Bridge, apparently to Seville, on what could be a long term loan deal, or a permanent transfer, depending on who you believe.
Sport Witness carried a report from the Spanish press that claimed that the deal was just “hours” away. While that’s probably an exaggeration – in fact we know it is since several dozen hours have passed since the article was published – the fact that they are so insistent that it’s coming soon means Chelsea must be close to a deal of their own.

Even with Batshuayi backing up Morata the Blues are short in striking options, so there’s simply no way they would even countenance letting their second choice go without a replacement secured.
What this all adds up to is a move to Spain for Michy soon, and a move to Chelsea for a mystery striker even sooner.
