# West Ham to go back in for Batshuayi this summer

West Ham are set to go back in for Michy Batshuayi this summer, with the Belgian heavily out of favour at Chelsea.

The 23-year-old has seriously struggled since his move to the Premier League and has been starved of regular first-team opportunities under Antonio Conte.

Batshuayi has been playing second fiddle to Diego Costa for the entirety of the season and his future at Stamford Bridge is under scrutiny given his failure to really make an impact.

West Ham went in for the Belgium international last summer but were pipped to a deal by Chelsea, who brought him in for a fee north of £30 million from Ligue 1 outfit Marseille.

However, the Hammers are now keen to end his Blues nightmare as they hope to put a stop to their goal scoring woes according to the [Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/798214/West-Ham-Chelsea-Slaven-Bilic-two-bids-rejected-Premier-League-Transfer-News-Gossip).

Slaven Bilic has been on the lookout for a new striker for a while now and could look towards Batshuayi for attacking inspiration once again.
