Batshuayi to stay at Marseille
1 min read
This morning saw websites all telling us that we are interested in Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi, but he wasn't the main man at Marseille last season.
André-Pierre Gignac was the main man scoring 23 goals in 38 games and 77 goals in 186 games for them overall. Batshuayi is a 21-year-old (22 in October) Belgian striker who made his international debut in March. Born in Brussels he stands 1.82m (5ft 11 1⁄2in) tall.
The press suggestion is that we have been priced out of a supposed race for another Belgian striker Christian Benteke. Seeing as Benteke has stated he wants to play as the main striker, no be second fiddle to someone else, then he has never been an option for us. Yes, you make an inquiry but as for realistically trying to sign him that was never on the cards. We have thus supposedly pulled out of a race we were never in.
While we scouted the former Standard Liege striker last season his chances were limited are it is in his best interests to stay where he is and take on greater striking responsibilities and that seems most likely.

Michy Batshuayi was definitely on Spurs' radar last season, but he had a different agent at the time. Is likely to stay at Marseille. #THFC
