Maurizio Sarri has told Michy Batshuayi that he has a future at Chelsea this season, according to reports in France.
The 24-year-old was signed from Marseille for £33 million two years ago but struggled to secure a regular role under Antonio Conte.
Batshuayi started only three games in the Premier League last season before he was sent out on loan to Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window.
And the Belgium international thrived at the German club by scoring nine goals in 14 appearances before his season was cut short due to an ankle ligament injury.
Batshuayi has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, with Valencia reportedly interested in the striker.
