Batshuayi opens up after officially completing summer Chelsea transfer deal
Michy Batshuayi has agreed a new deal at Chelsea and then completed his loan move to Crystal Palace.
With all the signings that we have made this transfer window, there was no more need to keep Batshuayi at the club this summer, and we have made the decision to let the striker head back to Palace on loan.
The Belgium international striker returns to Selhurst Park following a successful loan spell at the back-end of the 2018/19 season, where he scored six goals in 13 appearances for the Eagles.
The club announced on the club website: “Michy Batshuayi has today agreed a one-year contract extension at Chelsea and joined Crystal Palace on loan for the 2020/21 campaign.”
And upon making the move back to Palace, Batshuayi has admitted his delight at the deal, He told the Eagles’ official website: “My target is to win a lot of games with the team. Palace are a good team and a dangerous team for the big clubs.
“I want to win and to score, to do my job to help the team and I know my team-mates will help me as well.”
Batshuayi will hope to play regularly for Palace and earn a spot in Belgium’s squad for next summer’s European Championship.
Roy Hodgson added: “He made a great impact at the club in his previous loan spell, albeit only five months long, displaying a goal scoring threat which we very much needed at that time and we are confident he will produce again.
“As a player who will help to convert our chances in to goals, Michy will be another valuable addition to the two new signings we have made this summer.”
Sad to see him go, but this is a good move to make.
