It has been suggested by Belgian outlet HLN that Michy Batshuayi doesn’t have a future at Chelsea.

In the Blues’ last three games, Batshuayi has had one 18-minute cameo against AFC Bournemouth, was left on the bench against Everton and didn’t even make the squad for the Tottenham Hotspur game.

The indication within their report is that Frank Lampard has lost faith in the 26-year-old, which has led to Crystal Palace fans being asked whether they would take him at Selhurst Park.

Would you take him back at Palace? https://t.co/sXAaGmyQni

The answer among many Eagles fans is a resounding yes, with one saying it is “not even a question”, while another claimed they would have him “in a heartbeat”.

He was at Palace for the second half of last season and was prolific, scoring six goals in 13 games across the Premier League and FA Cup, but Goal reported last April that the south London outfit couldn’t afford to sign the Belgian on a permanent deal.

Calling all Eagles fans: Can you get 90% on this quickfire Palace quiz?

With this tally including a goal in a 3-2 win over Cardiff City and a brace when Palace beat AFC Bournemouth 5-3, he has already shown how important his contributions can be.

Yes plus RLC

In a heartbeat I’d give them Wilf +35Million for Bats! He’s a quality striker in the right team! Benners could be a nunber 9 almost with Ayew & Bats that could be promising!

He was also favoured to other Palace options by some, with fans comparing the idea of signing him to bringing in Cenk Tosun, while another said they should sign Batshuayi and “stop overrating Benteke”.

As has already been established, Batshuayi has not had the most game time this term, but he has still managed to make his mark in the final third.

In five starts and 19 substitute appearances across all competitions, the Belgium international has recorded six goals and two assists, showing just how useful he could still be for Palace.

Might as well get him as TOSUN looks like a waste of money and time

yes, 100% and our fans need to stop overrating benteke, he’s been good for about a month, before that he’s been our worst player for 2 years so if we get batshuayi up front w ayew then that’s good

If we have £20m to spend (chump change from Wan Bissaka’s sale!) then I’d go Batman over Tosun 🦇
