West Ham will try again in the summer to bring Michy Batshuayi to the London Stadium.
According to a report in the Daily Mail the out of favour striker is still in Slaven Bilic’s plans for the future.
Batshuayi has still to start a single Premier League match for Chelsea despite arriving last summer in a £33m deal from Marseille.
The form of Diego Costa has closed the door on the Belgian striker who was looking to get out on loan during January.
With a title to chase Antonio Conte refused that request but will let the striker go out on loan this summer.
West Ham are hoping to sell Andy Carroll during the summer with Batshuayi a better fit for the style of football that Bilic is trying to introduce.
Bilic had a £31m offer for the striker accepted by Marseille last summer but after Chelsea topped that bid he could end up with Batshuayi for a £3m loan fee.
