The first moves have been made by West Ham to try to land the Belgian until the end of this season.
Ironically, Batshuayi, 23, was just hours from joining them before Chelsea snatched him from under their noses.
But he is yet to start a Premier League game and in nine substitute appearances has completed just 77 minutes.

Batshuayi has even held talks with Chelsea and been reassured that he does have a future at the club but must be patient because of first-choice striker Diego Costa’s sparkling form.
Costa has scored 12 goals with the Blues going for 11 straight Prem wins today at Crystal Palace.
West Ham hope to free up a slot for Batshuayi by ditching flop loan signing Simone Zaza who has failed to score in 11 games since joining.

The Italian’s agent Vincenzo Morabito said: “Zaza will definitely go back to Juventus because West Ham do not want to keep him.”
West Ham have also been linked with loan moves for Liverpool outcast Daniel Sturridge and Batshuayi’s Chelsea team-mate Cesc Fabregas.
