Michy Batshuayi Snubs Deadline Day Anderlecht Transfer in Comical Fashion on Twitter

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has laughed off reported interest from Anderlecht ahead of the European transfer deadline, owing to his past with fierce Belgian rivals Standard Liege.

Behind Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge, Batshuayi has only played six minutes of first team football so far this season.

His expected lack of chances of the course of the campaign had let to suggestions that the 25-year-old could at least temporarily move on with another loan away after spending time with Borussia Dortmund, Valencia and Crystal Palace since January 2018.

Anderlecht were linked with a move, but Batshuayi is set to stay at Chelsea and has taken to social media in comical fashion to suggest that the Brussels giants never stood a chance of signing him.
