Chelsea striker Batshuayi joins Besiktas on season-long loan

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has joined Besiktas on a season-long loan.

Batshuayi will spend the 2021-22 campaign with the Turkish club after passing a medical at their training ground on Wednesday.

The Belgian extended his contract with Chelsea until 2023 before departing, but it has been reported Besiktas will have the option to buy the Belgian outright for between £5 million and £11m next summer.

Batshuayi heads on loan again

Batshuayi's latest move marks the fifth time he has been sent out on loan since joining Chelsea from Marseille in 2016.

The 27-year-old had spells at Borussia Dortmund and Valencia before being snapped up on a six-month deal by Crystal Palace in January 2019.
