Chelsea have announced the signing of Belgian forward Michy Batshuayi from Marseille for a fee in the region of £33m.

After a successful medical last week, the new five-year contract with Chelsea will keep the striker at the club until 2021.

“I am delighted to sign for one of the biggest clubs in Europe and embark on the next chapter in my career. I hope I can help Chelsea win many trophies during my time at Stamford Bridge,” said Batshuayi.

“Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois have told me many good things about the club, and with Antonio Conte coming in it’s an exciting time to become a Chelsea player.”

Mourinho had earlier sold Mata to United when he was at the helm of Chelsea. And the odds are that Everton is Mata’s destination for a transfer fee of around €25m.


[espl_divider]Belgian midfield work-horse Axel Witsel is in the midst of a tug-of-war between Everton and Napoli. According to the player’s father, Thierry, fellow Belgian (Dries) Mertens spoke very highly of Napoli with Witsel.

“It’s true I met with (Napoli sporting director) Cristiano Giuntoli in Brussels. It was a positive discussion and there could be interest by both parties, so we’ll see how things evolve. “Everton’s interest is concrete, like Napoli’s, so the negotiation is ongoing, and to see if the marriage happens we have to see the conditions and understand what is the best destination for the player. Napoli is a great club. They had Maradona amongst their protagonists so they don’t need to be praised,” Witsel’s father told Italian radio station CRC.
