Batshuayi wants CL football: err – at Chelsea?

Batshuayi

Maybe Michy Batshuayi needs to check out last season’s Premier League table.

The young Belgian international – linked with ourselves, Spurs and Palace over the past few weeks – has finally opted for a Chelsea move.

However, at one stage yesterday the striker was reported as being focused on only joining a club which was involved in Champions League football.

That came soon after the rumours of the move to south London had arisen but finally such lofty ambitions bit the dust as Roman Abramovich presumably reached for the cheque book.

It means that the Marseilles front man has now changed his mind about the Champions League or indeed even Europa League football and settled to play for a club that finished 10th last season.

We’re sure he thought the whole thing through very closely! Whether he becomes a regular first teamer of a super sub will now be interesting to observe.
