The youngster is a man in demand and is still highly rated at Stamford Bridge despite his inability to break into the first team on a regular basis.

The Belgian forward arrived in England for the large sum of £31.5 million after impressing in his native country and then France, but has found himself playing a bit part for the English champions.

Newcastle were linked with the 24-year-old in the summer and would welcome a player with his ability to St James' Park, but face competition throughout Europe, with Sevilla the latest club to offer first-team football.

It's clear that the fans on the terraces are screaming out for a goalscorer with Joselu offering little more than effort as he leads the line and Batshuayi would be a welcome addition for the Toon Army.
