Crystal Palace are planning a new move for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi in January.

Palace, who are currently sixth in the Premier League, plan to bolster their attack when the transfer window reopens and have made Chelsea striker Batshuayi a leading target, says the Daily Mail.

The 26 year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Selhurst Park and was a popular figure, scoring six times in 11 starts and 13 appearances in total.

Palace hope Chelsea could be persuaded to part with Batshuayi due to Tammy Abraham's emergence, along with the presence of Olivier Giroud in Frank Lampard's squad, and also the Belgian's contract situation.

Batshuayi signed a five-year deal when he joined Chelsea, who beat Palace to his signature, from Marseille in 2016 for 33m.
