Fans of West Ham United have been reacting to a transfer link between the Hammers and Chelsea’s Michy Batshuayi.
According to HLN, as cited by The Sun, Frank Lampard’s outfit wants to be rid of the Belgian and the Hammers are an admirer of the striker (via @westhamfootball), which some fans hated the idea of.

I hope this isn’t true. He’s mugged us off more than twice now.

No thanks. If he was that good Chelsea would keep him and not keep loaning him out every season.

Would you be disappointed if the Hammers signed Michy Bathsuayi from Chelsea?Yes, we don't need him
No, would be a good move

According to the report, Crystal Palace are also admirers of the 26-year-old, alongside two Ligue 1 outfits in AS Monaco and Olympique de Marseille.
However, after the report was shared to social media (via @westhamfootball), supporters continued airing their desire to not see the move happen.
Will he score 20 goals a season for West Ham? ……NO. There’s your answer.

I see this every year. He turned us down on two occasions. He can stay in South London for all I care. ??

Rejected us about 3 times now, wouldn’t want him at all

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from West Ham supporters, they are keen for the Hammers to not sign Batshuayi in the next transfer window despite Chelsea wanting to get rid of him.
An average rating of 6.1/10 in 16 Premier League appearances, will do little to help the 26-year-old’s case.
