Batshuayi Set to Stay at Chelsea and Fight for Place

By Daily Sports on July 28, 2019

Michy Batshuayi is set to stay at Chelsea this season and battle it out with Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud for a starting spot as Frank Lampard's main striker.

The Blues agreed on a deal to sell Alvaro Morata to Atletico Madrid this summer and they sent Gonzalo Higuain back to Juventus after a six-month loan spell, leaving them in need of new faces up front.

A ban has been placed on the club for the next two transfer windows, however, after FIFA found the Blues in breach of rules around the signing of 29 overseas minors.

Chelsea have appealed the ban but haven't moved to secure provisional measures, which would have frozen the ban for this summer's transfer window.

Instead, they have looked within their own talent pool and retained the services of Batshuayi and Abraham, who were on loan last season at Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, respectively.

Batshuayi has less than two years left on his current deal and this season could prove to be make or break for his chances of getting a new long-term contract.

Palace remain interested in a permanent transfer, but they have been put off by Chelsea's asking price of £40 million ($50m). (SuperSport)
