Chelsea are reportedly willing to loan Michy Batshauyi on loan in exchange for Fernando Llorente.
Reports in Italy claims that Antonio Conte is keen on to bring Llorente to the Stamford Bridfe to deputise for Diego Costa and talks have already began over the possiblity of a deal to bring the 31-year-old striker to West London.
It is understood that Chelsea are also ready to offer Batshuayi to the Swans for the remainder of the campaign.
Conte has hinted the Belgian forward is not physically ready to play in the Premier League, but hopes he takes his chance in their FA Cup tie against Peterborough on Sunday.
‘He could be frustrated, especially when you are used to playing every game with Marseille, but when you arrive at a great team like Chelsea you normally have to fight to find a place in the starting 11,’ said the Chelsea manager
‘Michy is finding a lot of difficulty in adapting to this league and the football because it is very physical and is not easy. He is only 23 years old, he is young, he can improve a lot and in front of him there is Diego Costa and for this reason, he is finding it a bit difficult to play.
‘Now it is important for him to stay concentrated on the game, to see the present and not look too too far ahead. It is important to be focused and to play very well, and show he is integrated into our way of football.’
Batshauyi arrived Blues last summer but has failed to nail a starting spot due to the electric form of Diego Costa and there are suggestions the 23-year-old might look elsewhere if his woes continues.
