Batshuayi is currently on loan in La Liga with Valencia, having spent the second half of last season in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund. With the Belgian’s long-term future seemingly unclear, the striker has apparently failed to impress Maurizio Sarri during his spell away from the club.

Batshuayi could be an ideal addition to reinvigorate Palace’s front line, but the south London side know they will face stern competition for his signature.
