The Blues’ first signing of the transfer window, Michy Batshuayi joined Chelsea for £33 million.
The forward from Marseille scored an impressive 23 goals last season and 3 goals in 6 games for his national team, Belgium. Batshuayi scored off the bench at Euros and on his debut.
The exciting 22-year-old has fierce pace with a keen eye for the net. He’s described as a poacher who can also convert penalties. He’s nicknamed ‘Batsman’ and Premier League experts believe that he is a player to watch out for in Conte’s new formation.
The Belgian International impressed his new club coach Antonio Conte on his debut match against RZ Pellets. The Italian had a few words for the new signing after the match: “Technique, great talent, two feet and he is very fast.”
For those who like to talk of super-subs, Michy is, according to numbers, the ultimate sub. No player in Europe’s top five leagues has scored more goals as a substitute than Batshuayi (nine) in the last two seasons. Not only that, the Belgian was only third, ahead of Edison Cavani, in the total tally of goals and assists in the Ligue 1 2015/2016, only behind Ibrahimovic and Di Maria.
