Juventus are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham target Michy Batshuayi during the winter transfer window.

The Bianconeri have secured the permanent signing of Mario Lemina from Marseille, who the club signed on loan last summer, and now they have turned their attention to another player at the Stade Velodrome.




According to Turin based daily Tuttosport the Italian champions are keen to make a move for Marseille striker Batshuayi in the summer and have already initiated contact with the Ligue 1 outfit about a possible transfer.

Juventus remain keen to strengthen their forward line at the end of the season, and feel a young player such as the Belgian forward would prove to be a smart signing for the club.
 


Batshuayi recently signed a new contract with the club until 2020, but Marseille are expected to sell the player should they receive a fee of around €40m in the next transfer window.

However, Juventus are set to face stiff competition for the striker’s signature from the Premier League, as Tottenham and West Ham are interested in taking Batshuayi to England in the summer.

The Belgian joined Marseille from Standard Liege in 2014, and has scored 30 goals in 75 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit.
