Michy Batshuayi passes Chelsea medical in France as £33million move to Stamford Bridge nears completion

MICHY BATSHUAYI has passed his Chelsea medical after the club doctor was sent to France ahead of a £33million the Belgian’s move to Stamford Bridge.

Marseilles striker Batshuayi is currently preparing for the Red Devils’ Euro 2016 quarter-final clash with Wales.

But he took a break from the team’s training camp in Bordeaux to undergo tests as his shock move to Chelsea nears completion.

The Blues moved quickly to secure a deal after the French club agreed a fee with Crystal Palace – with Tottenham and West Ham also in the hunt.

And once Batshuayi was made aware of the interest from Antonio Conte’s side he took little time in deciding on where his future lies.

The 22-year-old striker is one of the hottest properties in European football after bagging 17 goals and six assists in Ligue 1 this season.

West Ham also thought they had a chance of signing the Belgian but he has turned down the chance to work with boss Slaven Bilic.

Marseilles are desperate to sell the sought-after hitman.

They need to raise £21m or face sanctions from the DNCG, the body which regulates finances in French football.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich is also in the market for Batshuayi's fellow countryman Radja Nainggolan.

The midfielder is intent on staying at Roma, however, and Chelsea could cover their tracks by sealing a deal for Everton target Alex Witsel.
