A View From The Bullens are delighted by the latest Everton transfer news involving Michy Batshuayi.

The Lowdown: Striker wanted

After the sale of Richarlison to Tottenham Hotspur, the Goodison Park outfit are in the market for a new striker.

The likes of Armando Broja and Alassane Plea have been linked with moves to Merseyside, as Frank Lampard looks to bolster his attack.

Idrissa Gueye has also been linked with a return in the midfield position, so the club's business looks far from over.

The Latest: Batshuayi talks

As per 90min, the Toffees are now in talks to sign Batshuayi on a permanent deal from Chelsea.

Upon hearing the news, podcast host Lee McClean hailed the potential business, claiming that it would be a 'sensible' move:

"Batshuayi is quite obviously a much better option than Rondon. Improves the squad. Sensible again. Yes please."

The Verdict: Interesting

Batshuayi is certainly an interesting one, as it has not worked out for him at all at Stamford Bridge.

He has been sent out on loan no fewer than five times, and it is unclear whether he will be in Thomas Tuchel's long-term plans.

However, he does possess the Premier League experience, having played for Crystal Palace as well as Chelsea, and his goal record for other clubs is not bad at all.

The 28-year-old netted 14 times for Besiktas last season, and scored nine goals in a memorable loan spell for Borussia Dortmund in the 2017/18 campaign (Transfermarkt).

He also has 25 goals in 45 games for Belgium, and will be eager to impress ahead of the World Cup, so signing him could turn out to be a smart piece of business.
