The Chelsea striker gets some grub with Monaco wing-back Benjamin Mendy amid talk of the France star moving to the Premier League
Michy Bathsuayi headed for what the striker described as a “family dinner” with reported Chelsea target Benjamin Mendy.
The Monaco wing-back has been regularly linked with a move to the Premier League following an excellent 2016-17 campaign.
Manchester City are thought to be favourites to sign the 22-year-old, but Chelsea have also been linked with a potential move for the defender.
Mendy scored one goal and has made eight assists in 37 appearances in all competitions in what was a standout campaign for the promising France star.
Batshuayi scored the title-winning goal in Chelsea’s 2016-17 season despite finding his first-team opportunities limited under Antonio Conte.
And Chelsea fans will be hoping their second-choice striker can pull of another masterstroke for the Blues and convince Mendy that a move to London would be better than switching to Manchester City.
Batshuayi posted the above photo on his Instagram page and wrote the following caption: “Family diner @benmendy23 @williamizi @sport.cover ✊🏾#Paris”
