Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi completes Dortmund loan move

Published on: 31 January 2018

With Chelsea linked to strikers galore, ESPN FC's Stevie Nicol tries to make sense of which players would be best suited for a move to Stamford Bridge. Antonio Conte comments on Michy Batshuayi's two-goal outing against Newcastle, the Belgian's future at Chelsea and the club's activity in the transfer market.

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has completed his move to Borussia Dortmund on loan until the end of the season.

Batshuayi heads to Germany on deadline day in search of regular first-team football, having started just three Premier League matches under Antonio Conte this season despite Chelsea's first-choice striker Alvaro Morata struggling for fitness and form in recent months.

His arrival is intended to fill the void left by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who on deadline day joined Arsenal from Dortmund for a club-record reported fee of £56 million, while Chelsea acquired Olivier Giroud from the Gunners for around £16.25m to provide competition and cover for Morata.
