Batshuayi set to renew Chelsea contract and agree season-long loan move to Crystal Palace but Gallagher loan collapses

Chelsea are close to extending Michy Batshuayi's contract ahead of sending the striker on a season-long loan deal back to Crystal Palace for the 2020-21 campaign.

The one-year contract extension ensures the Blues don't lose the 26-year-old for free at the end of his loan deal having signed him for £33 million ($42m) back in 2016 from Marseille.

Palace manager Roy Hodgson will be re-signing a player who spent six months at the south London club in 2019 when he scored five goals in 11 Premier League appearances.
