SEVILLA are reportedly confident they can secure Chelsea outcast Michy Batshuayi on loan.
ESPN claim the Spanish club want to add to their attack and see the out-of-favour Belgian and the perfect target.
But the report suggests the Blues will only give the deal their blessing if they can bring in some attackers of their own to replace him.
The Blues have already snapped up Everton playmaker Ross Barkley for £15million.
And highly-rated young defender Andreas Christensen has penned a new contract until 2022.
However, Chelsea have occasionally struggled for goals despite Morata’s good start to life in England, and Conte is believed to be targeting West Ham’s Andy Carroll on loan.
