Michy Batshuayi is reportedly determined to fight for his place at Chelsea amid rumours that he could leave in January.

Michy Batshuayi is reportedly keen to fight for his place at Chelsea as opposed to looking for a way out in the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge from Marseille in the summer for a reported figure of £33.1m, but he has started just twice under manager Antonio Conte.

Both of those appearances came in the EFL Cup as Diego Costa currently stands in the way, having scored six goals in seven league games.

Despite his lack of game time, Batshuayi, who has been linked with a return to Marseille on loan, is determined to prove himself at Chelsea, according to the London Evening Standard.

The report adds that the Premier League club have no plans to offload the Belgium international, who is also said to have attracted interest from Juventus and AC Milan.

Batshuayi has scored three goals so far this season.
