The 26-year-old first signed to Chelsea back in 2016 for a fee of £35.1 million from French club Marseille.
Noooo!!! Let’s not be picking up Lampard’s rejects.

Since then, Batshuayi has had loan spells at Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Crystal Palace, resulting in him making a total of just 77 appearances for Chelsea in four years.
This season saw the Belgian make 16 appearances for Frank Lampard’s side in the Premier League in which he only managed to score one goal.
No chance

It appears that the idea of signing Batshuayi this summer has completely split the opinions of this group of Leeds fans.
It will be interesting to see if Leeds are indeed interested in the forward and if they do manage to sign him this summer or not as they prepare for the 2020/21 season in the Premier League.
