Michy Batshuayi touches down to hero's welcome in Istanbul after agreeing loan move to Besiktas

Michy Batshuayi touched down in Turkey to a hero's welcome from Besiktas fans waiting for him at Istanbul airport.

The Chelsea striker has agreed a season-long loan deal in what will be a fifth spell away from his parent club since joining in 2016.

Romelu Lukaku's huge £98m move from Inter to Chelsea has seen Thomas Tuchel clear the decks with Tammy Abraham leaving for Roma in a £34m move and Batshuayi leaving too, albeit on loan.
