Official: M. Batshuayi - "Chelsea" member

London's "Chelsea" announced the acquisition of "Marseille" attacking leader Michy Batshuayi.

The sniper of the Belgian national team has signed a five-year contract with the "aristocrats," and the transfer cost 40 million euros.

The 22-year-old footballer became the first purchase of the new team's coach Antonio Conte. "Chelsea" is also linked with "Leicester City" defender N'Golo Kante in recent times.

During this season, Batshuayi played excellently. In 36 "Ligue 1" matches, he scored 17 goals and was the team's leader. It is not surprising that he also attracted interest from London's "Tottenham," "West Ham," and Turin's "Juventus."

The striker will join the ranks of "Chelsea" alongside the other two Belgians, Thibaut Courtois and Eden Hazard.
