The striker endured a frustrating first season at Stamford Bridge with just one Premier League start - coming after Chelsea had confirmed the title.

Despite a reduced role, Batushuayi scored four goals in his final three league games and finished the season with a record of scoring every 47 minutes.

The 23-year-old is a summer loan target for West Ham with Slaven Bilic failing with a bid last summer and Batshuayi is happy to accept any offer Chelsea deem suitable.

"Honestly, I'm not trying to think too much [about my future],” Batshuayi told Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad.

"It will be up to the board and the coach to decide. I'm the player, I go where Chelsea send me."

Chelsea have already lost two players ahead of the summer transfer window officially opening.

Second-choice goalkeeper Asmir Begovic has joined Bournemouth in a deal worth up to £10 million, while wantaway youth prospect Dominic Solanke will become a Liverpool player on July 1.
