Chelsea confirmed the signing of Marseille and Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi

Football: Chelsea have completed the signing of Belgium international striker Michy Batshuayi, 22 from Marseille on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

"I am delighted to sign for one of the biggest clubs in Europe and embark on the next chapter in my career," Batshuayi told the Chelsea's official website.

"I hope I can help Chelsea win many trophies during my time at Stamford Bridge.

"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.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for myself and my family, I am looking forward to playing in the Premier League next season."

Batshuayi becomes Chelsea's first signing since Antonio Conte was appointed as manager in April.
Batshuayi scored 17 goals for Marseille as they finished 13th in Ligue 1 last season and was among the Belgium contingent to the Euro 2016 championship in France.
