Chelsea striker sent packing
Batshuayi set for Chelsea return…
Belgium international striker Michy Batshuayi is set to return to Chelsea this January as Spanish La Liga side Valencia confirmed they are in the process to cut his loan short.
The sporting director of the Spanish side confirmed this afternoon that Batshuayi would be heading back to Stamford Bridge at a press conference on Thursday.
Mateu Alemany said that negotiations over the termination of Batshuayi’s loan deal were ongoing.
He came in for criticism from Valencia boss Marcelino after Batshuayi suffered a nightmare 45 minutes when his side were knocked out of the Copa del Rey 2-1 by Sporting Gijon on Tuesday.
The Belgian who featured his country’s national team at the 2018 World Cup has scored only three goals in 23 appearances for Valencia in all competitions this season.
