    EPL: Chelsea to hand Batshuayi surprise new contract

    Premier League side Chelsea are ready to hand Michy Batshuayi a new contract.

    The Sun says the Belgian striker, 26, is to be offered an extension to avoid him walking away for nothing next summer.

    No clubs who can afford Batshuayi have shown an interest in this window, so Chelsea hope by giving him a further year he can go out and increase his value.

    The terms could see Batshuayi get a £15,000 rise to £100k-a-week — a lot of money for a player down the pecking order under manager Frank Lampard.

    However, any club taking him on loan would be asked to pick up the tab and pay most of that salary for a season.

    The news has put Crystal Palace, West Brom and Newcastle on alert.

    They could not afford to buy him but now they could loan him.

  • Crystal Palace signs Batshuayi on loan

    Crystal Palace have signed Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan until the end of the season.

    The Belgium international, 25, had been on a season-long loan at La Liga side Valencia.

    Batshuayi – who had been linked with a loan move to Tottenham or Everton – has scored seven goals in 32 Premier League appearances for the Blues.

    “This is a fantastic signing for Crystal Palace,” said club chairman Steve Parish.

    “Michy is a player we’ve long admired, and I’m delighted that we’ve finally managed to get him in a red and blue shirt. He will be a magnificent addition to our squad.”

    Chelsea signed Batshuayi for £33.2m from Marseille in 2016, and he scored the decisive goal in Chelsea’s 2016-17 Premier League title success.

    He spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund, where he scored nine times in 14 games.

    He netted one goal in 15 La Liga appearances for Valencia this season.

    Michy Batshuayi has agreed terms with Crystal Palace ahead of a potential loan move from Chelsea, according to Sky Sports.

    The deal looks set to go down to the wire on Deadline Day, and comes after Chelsea refused to deal with Tottenham over a potential loan deal for the Belgian.

    Batshuayi joined Chelsea in July 2016 for a fee in the region of £33m from Ligue 1 side Marseille.

    Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has joined Spanish club Valencia on a season-long loan.

    The 24-year-old Belgium international spent part of last season on loan at German club Borussia Dortmund, scoring nine times in 14 appearances.

    Batshuayi joined Chelsea in July 2016 for a fee in the region of £33m and has scored 19 times in 53 games.

    His departure will leave Alvaro Morata, Olivier Giroud and Tammy Abraham as Chelsea’s recognised strikers.

    Batshuayi made three appearances for Belgium at the World Cup in Russia this summer, scoring after coming off the bench in the 5-2 group-stage victory over Tunisia.

    Chelsea also announced on Friday that 23-year-old French defender Kurt Zouma will spend the season on loan at Everton.
