Newcastle United and West Ham target Michy Batshuayi has revealed that he is trying not to think about his future too much, with the striker insisting that he would go out on loan this summer if Chelsea’s hierarchy and manager Antonio Conte feels it is needed.
The 23-year-old, who joined Chelsea from Marseille last summer, has been sparingly been used by Conte this season as he managed to clock up just 700 minutes over 27 appearances in all competitions, scoring nine times and setting up three goals.
Batshuayi made just one start in the Premier League and although he has found the back of the net in his last three outings, the Belgium international has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
West Ham and Newcastle are both interested in the striker, who is also on the radar of Ligue 1 champions Monaco.
And Batshuayi, who said that he is currently focused on Chelsea’s FA Cup final game against Arsenal on Saturday, explained that he will go out on loan if Conte and the club decide.

"Honestly, I'm not trying to think too much [about my future]”, he was quoted as saying by Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad.
"We still have a match and I'm trying to concentrate 200 per cent.
“After that it will be up to the board and the coach to make a decision.
“I'm a player and I’ll go wherever Chelsea sends me.”
When asked if he would himself seek a loan move, Batshuayi replied: "No, in my position as a player I have nothing to say.
"I can only speak on the field. Winning two trophies would be great.
“What more can you expect in your first season at Chelsea.”
Batshuayi was the hero against West Bromwich Albion earlier in the month when his 83rd-minute winner sealed the Premier League title for Chelsea.
