CHELSEA target Michy Batshuayi has written an open letter to Marseille supporters in which he says his departure from the club will be confirmed tomorrow
The Belgium striker, 22, has been linked with a £33million move to Stamford Bridge after two successful years at the Stade Velodrome.
Without confirming his destination, he wrote in a post on his Twitter feed this evening: "It will be made official tomorrow, I will be leaving Olympique Marseille this summer."
Batshuayi began his career at Standard Liege and joined OM in the summer of 2014, scoring 15 goals in his first season with the club.
He took a step forward last season with 26 goals, including 17 in Ligue 1 even as Marseille struggled to 13th in the table - just nine points clear of the relegation zone.
His performances earned him a place in Belgium's Euro 2016 squad and he immediately announced himself on his tournament debut, scoring within two minutes of his introduction as a substitute against Hungary in the last 16.
Batshuayi wrote: "Above all, I particularly want to thank all the supporters of OM: during my two years with the club I have loved since I was young, you have shown me your affection and support.
"It's a big honour for me to have worn this jersey at the Velodrome, a stadium which you have made magnificent with an atmosphere which is unique in France.
