Marseille boss says Michy Batshuayi will leave club in summer window

MARSEILLE - Belgium international striker Michy Batshuayi will leave Marseille during the summer, his club manager Franck Passi said on Thursday.

The 22-year-old is Marseille's top scorer this season having notched 22 goals despite his team under-performing in the Ligue 1 standings, and was called up to an enlarged 24-man pre-Euro 2016 squad by Belgium boss Marc Wilmots.

Batshuayi is reportedly a target for English clubs West Ham and Tottenham Hotspur.

He joined Marseille from Standard Liege in 2014 and spent his first season as understudy to Andre-Pierre Gignac, before the France international left for Mexican outfit Tigres at the end of the last campaign.

Although he signed a contract extension in January, tying him to the club until 2020, Batshuayi had been expected to leave this summer.

His last match for Marseille will likely be the French Cup final against bitter rival Paris Saint-Germain on May 21.
