COLLAPSE! Chelsea fail to send Batshuayi docs to Forest in time

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuay is in limbo after a move to Nottingham Forest fell through last night.

The 28-year-old Belgian was heading to the City Ground to increase Forest's spending to over £150 MILLION.

But Sky Sports says the deal fell through at the last minute because the documents were not sent by Chelsea on time.

Forest did make it 20 for the summer though as they snared Blackpool star Josh Bowler.

The 23-year-old, signed for around £4million, has been immediately loaned out to Greek giants Olympiakos.

Batshuayi was looking to end a difficult tenure at Chelsea, where he joined in 2016, having made 77 appearances and scoring 25 goals.

The forward has been loaned out FIVE times during his spell at Stamford Bridge with his contract at the club set to expire next summer.
