Chelsea ace Michy Batshuayi eyed by Thierry Henry’s Monaco in surprise deal
The striker worked with the Arsenal legend when he was assistant coach in the Belgium team
MICHY BATSHUAYI is wanted by Monaco boss Thierry Henry, according to reports.
Batshuayi is currently on loan at Valencia from Chelsea but the 25-year-old has fallen short of expectations in Spain, reports suggested.
Valencia manager Marcelino is ready to let the Belgian go, with suggestions Chelsea could take back the forward to bolster their attacking line.
Chelsea have struggled to find consistency up front with Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud, and Batshuayi’s return is a potential solution for boss Maurizio Sarri.
Batshuayi has netted just three times in all competitions this season with just a single goal to his name in La Liga, coming against Celta de Vigo in September.
However, Get French Football claim Henry is tracking Batshuayi, and could offer the former Marseille striker a return to Ligue One.
Batshuayi worked with Henry during the Frenchman's time as assistant coach in the Belgian national side.
