Chelsea striker Michy Batashuayi is reportedly close to leaving the West Londoners on loan for the rest of the campaign, with Spanish giants Sevilla allegedly interested in his signature.
The Mail suggests that the Belgian, who has only made two starts under Antonio Conte this term, could leave as the Italian wants to bring another attacker to Stamford Bridge.

The news outlet suggests that Sevilla are willing to take him on loan as the club look to provide support for their push for a top-four finish in La Liga.
Conte told a recent press conference that he would be willing to allow players to leave, but only if a replacement could be bought before doing so.
Batshuayi has been with the Blues for two seasons, but his game time has been restricted due to Conte preferring to deploy former forward Diego Costa and current marksman Alvaro Morata ahead of the Belgian.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich head coach Jupp Heynckes has ruled out the chance of Arturo Vidal leaving the club amid stories linking him with a January transfer to Chelsea.
Reports surfaced earlier this week reporting that the Premier League champions were preparing a bid more than £30m for the player after Antonio Conte claimed that he would “always want” the South American in his side.
However, Heynckes says that there has been no communication between the two teams and announced that no footballers would be leaving the Allianz Arena this month.
“Certainly, there’s been no contact between the clubs [Chelsea and Bayern]. It’s just speculation,” he told journalists.

“Arturo Vidal is very motivated, he’s a top player, and we need him at his very best if Bayern is to play well. We won’t sell any players in the [transfer] window.” – He Added.
The Chilean midfielder, who is currently contracted to Bayern until 2019, performed with Conte at Juventus from 2011 to 2014.
