Borussia Dortmund have officially signed striker Michy Batshuayi from Chelsea on loan until the end of the season.
The struggling forward was recently backed by Antonio Conte, who revealed he was happy for Batshuayi to stay in Chelsea’s ranks, but with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s imminent move to Arsenal, Chelsea have offloaded Batshuayi to make room for Oliver Giroud, who is make the move across London on deadline day.
Batshuayi joined Chelsea in 2016 after leaving Marseille but has struggled for game time. The 24-year-old’s wanted replacement, Giroud, has been prolific in front of goal for Arsenal since his arrival and would offer Alvaro Morata stiff competition to be Chelsea’s main man up front.
The move has come at a good time for Batshuayi as he seeks a spot in the Belgium World Cup squad in the summer. Had he stayed at Chelsea, the chances of that happening could have been slim, but the striker will hope to kick-start his season in Germany, and potentially return to Stamford Bridge a better player next season.
