Everton make bid for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi

It’s been a transfer window full of surprises, and Everton could be set to carry on this trend.

The Belgium international was signed by Chelsea in July 2016 from Marseille for a fee of 39 million euros. The 23-year-old has a valid contract with Chelsea until June 2021.

Since his arrival from Marseille, Batshuayi has scored 9 goals and provided 3 assists in 31 games for Chelsea.

Batshuayi is considered to be one of the best strikers in Belgium.
