Michy Batshuayi Completes Loan Move to Crystal Palace from Chelsea

Crystal Palace confirmed the loan signing of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on Thursday, with the Belgium international joining until the end of the season.

The club relayed the news of Batshuayi's loan from Stamford Bridge.

"This is a fantastic signing for Crystal Palace," chairman Steve Parish said. "Michy is a player we’ve long admired, and I’m delighted that we’ve finally managed to get him in a red and blue shirt. He will be a magnificent addition to our squad.”

Batshuayi, 25, joined Chelsea in July 2016 from Marseille for £33.1 million. Despite his significant price tag, he has never nailed down a first-team spot at Stamford Bridge.
