Crystal Palace Welcomes Michy Batshuayi to Improve the Attack

 

Batshuayi had hoped to fight for a place in Chelsea’s first team, but the arrival of Timo Werner has motivated the Belgian forward to look for a club that allows him to have more action.

Michy was on loan at Crystal Palace for half of the 2018-2019 season. On that occasion, he scored six goals in 13 appearances. His experience at Selhurst Park was so good that the 26-year-old did not hesitate to agree to be loaned back to the Eagles.

“I need to do a good season here, to work a lot with my teammates and I want to do my best here. It’s not my first time here. I know the teammates, I know the gaffer, I know how the club works here. For me, it’s the best decision. I’m happy, the coach is happy, my teammates are happy. Let’s get to work,” Batshuayi declared when confirming his transfer.

Not only is Michy happy with the transfer, but the club is also excited about what the player can contribute. Boss Roy Hodgson stated, “I am very happy we have secured Michy on a season long loan. He made a great impact at the club in his previous loan spell, albeit only five months long, displaying a goal scoring threat which we very much needed at that time and we are confident he will produce again.”

Crystal Palace has not seen much movement in the current transfer market Ryan Inniss, Stephen Henderson and Jason Lokilo have left the club. Meanwhile, Nathan Ferguson, Eberechi Eze and Michy Batshuayi are the ones who have joined the Eagles.
