Marseille have accepted a bid in the region of £33m for Belgian Striker Michy Batshuayi.
He took a break from the Belgian squad yesterday to fly to London for a medical, which pissed off the Belgian coach, as they have a game tonight against the Taffs.
Weird that he would leave his national squad in the middle of a tournament to fly to London for a medical though!

Anyway, the piece from the Telegraph has a lot of info on him, if y'all are interested.
We are also said to be lining up an improved offer for another Belgianm, midfielder Radja Naingollan, after Roma rejected a £28m bid for him last week.
Sources claim that if this next bid is rejected, Conte will switch his interest to Leciester City midfielder N'Golo Kante.
 
Sounds like a good buy to me,only 22 and half the price everton want for Lukaku.
 
I like the idea of playing with 2 up front. Not many teams do it anymore and I think most aren't set up to deal with 2 strikers either. Would be nice to see Costa have a partner.

Everyone slating United with Martial now everyone is paying stupid money for unknowns, guess this is how it is now times have changed
I know, that was my first thought as well. However, Martial is relatively unknown compared with Batshuayi.

They are unknown to us.
I don't watch French football, because it sucks balls, same as Spanish football, the only leagues I follow are The Premier League and Bundesliga.
So if a guy plays outside one of those two leagues, unless he is at a big club that plays CL footie every year (like Barca, Real, PSG), I aint gonna have a clue who he is to be honest.

International tournaments aren't **** to go on.
Ask Rangers with Stephane Guivarch, and Arsenal with Giroud, who looks on fire for France at the moment, but struggles to hit a cows arse with a banjo in England.

But the managers know who they are, because that's their job.
Presumably they have the players scouted, and dossiers drawn up on them before they make a bid.
 
He looks like shorter Lukaku. Has the potential to be a star. I hope the same.
