Valencia
have agreed a deal to sign Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan until the
end of the season.
The move comes just hours after Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri admitted
his squad was too large and he was willing to allow some of his fringe
players to leave before the end of the month.
Batshuayi joined Chelsea two years ago from Marseille, and wrote himself
into Stamford Bridge folklore when he scored a late winning goal at West
Bromwich Albion to secure the 2016/17 Premier League title.
However, the Belgium international has never managed to nail down a regular
starting place at Chelsea, and was loaned to Borussia Dortmund for the
second half of last season.
His departure leaves Alvaro Morata, Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham as the
recognised first-team strikers Sarri has to work with this season.
