Sarri to block Valencia loan move for Batshuayi  

Michy Batshuayi has endured a rocky start to his Chelsea career but the road ahead could be much smoother.
Since joining from Marseille two years ago, the Belgian striker has started just four Premier League matches.
Batshuayi was lent to Borussia Dortmund for the second half of last season and had been lined up by Valencia for another loan stint, but new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri reportedly has other plans.
According to the Evening Standard, Sarri wants to block Valencia’s loan move for Batshuayi as he is keen for the 24-year-old to become a key part of his first-team squad.

Batshuayi has yet to return to Chelsea this summer after spending much of June and July away with Belgium at the World Cup.
Upon his return he is expected to demand assurances that he will be involved much more than he was during former manager Antonio Conte’s reign at Stamford Bridge.
He scored 19 goals in all competitions for Conte, but found himself behind Diego Costa and then Alvaro Morata in the Italian’s plans.
Chelsea were interested in signing Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli this summer, but missed out when AC Milan won the battle for his signature.
As a result, Chelsea are likely to keep Morata to compete with Batshuayi for a starting spot up front, leaving Olivier Giroud as third choice.
Marseille have Giroud on their radar and Sarri could be tempted to let him leave, either on loan or permanently if the price is right.
