Tottenham and West Ham target Michy Batshuayi: Everything you need to know about the Marseille striker

Sam Long15 April 2016

Tottenham and West Ham fans will be familiar with the name Michy Batshuayi.

The Marseille striker has been linked with a move to both White Hart Lane and the Olympic Stadium this summer, while the two London clubs also face competition from Juventus to secure the 22-year-old's signature.

Batshuayi signed a contract extension at the Stade Velodrome as recently as January of this year, but the fact he has been tied down to a long-term deal does not appear to have derailed his suitors.

The forward has scored 14 goals in 32 Ligue 1 appearances this season but Marseille have endured a difficult collective campaign and Batshuayi is expected to leave at the end of the season.

Given that he is vying to be included in Belgium's Euro 2016 squad, the striker's price could sky rocket if he features prominently in France for Marc Wilmots' side.
