Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to call for Michy Batshuayi to join Villa Park in the upcoming January transfer window.
This comes after alleged semi retired football agent @JamesMcCann74 shared a post on his page claiming that Batshuayi is a January target for Villa.
This post then gathered a number of replies from Villa fans who were excited to see the Belgian linked with a move to the club.
Would Michy Batshuayi be a good signing for Villa in January?
Yes
No
Regardless of the reliability of the source, it’s clear to see that Villa fans want Batshuayi at Villa Park.
Please x

Be a great signing

Yes please

The Belgian has struggled to find a run of games at current club Chelsea under Frank Lampard. Batshuayi has only made 10 Premier League appearances, scoring one goal in those appearances (per TransferMarkt).
Batshuayi has fallen behind Tammy Abraham as Chelsea’s first-choice striker this year, which may force the Belgian to look for a move away from Chelsea in January in an effort to find guaranteed playing time.
Doubt it’s true but this would be unreal. He’d keep us up single handedly #avfc https://t.co/Luedd9gLgF

Would be absolutely quality for us

Wanted him in the summer would be a great signing

What do we think?
If Batshuayi does want to move away from Stamford Bridge, Villa Park would be a suitable destination for the Belgian due to Villa’s current striker Wesley on a poor run of goal-scoring form. If Dean Smith does bring Batshuayi to Villa Park and can get the best of what he has to offer out of him, he could rescue the club from a relegation scrap.
