Chelsea have confirmed that Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi has joined Valencia on a season-long loan.
Best of luck in Spain, @mbatshuayi! https://t.co/1U1fOZ8mqA

The striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund and he scored 9 goals in 14 games for the Bundesliga side.
Batshuayi was a part of the Belgian World Cup squad that finished third in Russia and would have wanted to play regular football for us. But it seems La Liga is the place now.
The 24-year-old’s departure did not go down all too well with some of the Chelsea fans and here are their reactions to the deal.
