​Chelsea striker Batshuayi open to joining Everton

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi wants to join Everton.

The centre-forward, who is not wanted at the Stamford Bridge club, could link up with ex-Chelsea manager Frank Lampard at Goodison Park.

According to talkSPORT, Batshuayi is a key target for Everton as they seek to add competition for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

The Belgian international will serve as a replacement for Richarlison in the squad, who departed for Tottenham.

Although Richarlison could also play as a winger, Batshuayi will be tasked with duties up front.

The 28-year-old could sign for the Toffees on a loan or permanent deal.
