Everton, Benfica target Batshuayi to remain at Standard Liege

Standard Liege will not be losing striker Michy Batshuayi this winter.

The 21-year old Belgian striker has been linked with Everton and Benfica recently but Liege president Roland Duchatelet insists he will not be going anywhere anytime soon.

"They (Benfica) are one of the teams that are interested in Michy," Duchatelet said.

"But we haven't been negotiating."

When asked further if Batshuayi will be staying with Standard, he replied: "For sure!"
