Marseille confirm sought-after striker Michy Batshuayi on his way

Marseille coach Franck Passi admits that sought-after striker Michy Batshuayi will leave the club at the end of the season.

Marseille head coach Franck Passi has conceded that his top scorer Michy Batshuayi will leave the club this summer.

Batshuayi, 22, has attracted reported interest from a number of clubs in England and Spain having scored 22 goals this season in his first year as Marseille's main striker.

West Ham United are among those believed to be keen on the Belgian international, and Passi admitted that Marseille have resigned themselves to his departure.

"Everyone knows he's leaving," Passi told reporters. "I think it's included in the budget that Michy will probably be transferred this summer."

Batshuayi was yesterday included in Belgium's initial squad for Euro 2016 and also welcomed a baby daughter.

If he does leave the Stade Velodrome this summer, his last match will likely be the Coupe de France final against Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain on May 21.
