Chelsea keen to keep hold of Michy Batshuayi as leaders turn down loan requests from Paris Saint-Germain

Chelsea have turned down two loan requests from Paris Saint-Germain for Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi.

The 23-year-old is still part of Antonio Conte's plans though he believes he needs more work before he can make an impact from the start of games.

PSG want cover for Edinson Cavani and have also considered Batshuayi's compatriot Christian Benteke at Crystal Palace though no formal approach has been made.
