Michy Batshuayi Tunga (born 2 October 1993) is a
Belgian professional footballer who plays for English
club Chelsea and the Belgian national team as a
striker.

2011–2014 Standard Liège 97 appearances (39 goals)
2014–2016 Marseille 62 apps (26 goals)
2016– 2017Chelsea 20 apps (5 goals)

Of the 20 matches batshuayi played in last season, 90% were from the bench, during the dying moments of the match yet he managed to score 5 goals.
From conte's interviews last season, his only problem was his hold-up play, he appeared to be too fragile compared to the likes of diego costa.

This season brings a new opportunity for batshuayi to prove he is worth the big money chelsea paid to secure his services from marseille a year ago as costa is on his way out of the club and record signing alvaro morata unproven in the premier league.
Batshuayi is pressing all the right buttons this season as he banged 2 goals against fulham and Michy Batshuayi did his best to convince manager Antonio Conte that he doesn’t need to bring in yet another striker for the season with a fine display as Chelsea swept aside Arsenal in a 3-0 win at the Beijing
Bird’s Nest Stadium.

With costa set to leave, there will be only 2 recognised strikers at the club. Chelsea have been linked with the likes of max kruse (weder bremen), fernando llorente (swansea), christain benteke (crystal palace) but if batshuayi's continues in this manner chelsea would not need another striker. Batshuayi might even DISPLACE alvaro morata from the chelsea starting XI because conte is a manager dat considers a player's (as he did with moses).

After the match against arsenal, here is what Antonio Conte had to say about batshuayi:

‘It’s important to understand what I want.
'For me, a striker is very important, he is a point of
reference and when a striker stays in the right position,
it’s easier for the team to play good football.
'He did well here and is working very well, improving.'

From Conte's comment, if batshuayi continues in this manner, morata would be cautious about his first team chances, work harder, give 100% and won't be complacent because batshuayi will be waiting 4 the slightest opportunity to pounce... Last season costa knew dat no matter wot he did, he wouls get away with it as he was chelsea's go-to striker.

Wot do u think guys?
CAN BATSHUAYI DISPLACE MORATA FROM THE CHELSEA STARTING LINE UP THIS SEASON? share ur opinion...

with the signing of morata for that pricey figure, batshuayi chances would always be limited...but he could take solace in the fact that chelsea have more competitions to play this season

so he could feature more compared to last season....and if he impresses who knows..
nothing is certain...

e go hard sha but batshuayi have really stepup his game so he can grab de chance

Well said. If morata adapts to life in the premier league early then batshuayi will only be used as a back up to morata
