Thierry Henry prepares to sign another out-of-favour Chelsea star in January

- AS Monaco are interested in signing another Chelsea player after Fabregas

- The Ligue 1 side are currently preparing to land Mitchy Batshuayi in January

-The Belgium international's season loan spell with Valencia ended prematurely

AS Monaco manager Thierry Henry is looking to add Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi in his squad just days after signing Cecs Fabregas from Stamford Bridge.

The Ligue 1 outfit officially confirmed the Spaniard contract signing a three-year deal on Friday, December 11.

And now Monaco have now turned their attentions to Belgium international Batshuayi who worked with Henry while he was assistant to Roberto Martinez at the World Cup.

The 25-year-old is now available in the January window after failing to nail a starting place with La Liga side Valencia this season.

And Henry has confirmed a move for the former Olympique Marseille forward would be possible in the winter transfer window.

"Michy Batshuayi? We met in Belgium. We'll see what happens, but he's a player that can be interesting, that's for sure," declared Henry.

Batshauyi's played in the French league for two years and scored 26 goals in 62 appearances and will be of huge benefit to Henry at Monaco.

He also had a loan spell with Budesliga side Borussia Dortmund but a long term on the sidelines ended his exciting run of seven goals in ten matches.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Michy Batshuayi is expected back at Stamford Bridge after La Liga side Valencia confirmed they are in discussion to end his loan deal.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, January 10, Valencia’s sporting director Mateu Alemany confirmed the Belgian forward will be returning to west London this January.
