Michy Batshuayi delighted with Chelsea move

Michy Batshuayi says that he has fulfilled "a childhood dream" by making the move to Chelsea from Marseille this summer.

Michy Batshuayi has said that he has fulfilled "a childhood dream" by making the move to Chelsea.

The Belgium international joined the Premier League outfit on a five-year contract earlier this month and scored twice in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Austrian side Atus Ferlach this week.

Chelsea are believed to have parted with just over £33m to sign the 22-year-old, and the forward has revealed that he is 'looking forward' to working under the club's new coach Antonio Conte.

"It feels fantastic to be here, it's a childhood dream for me so I'm very happy," he told the club's monthly magazine. "It's a magnificent feeling. Just being at the training ground for one day I can see it's very big and you feel you've joined a club that really want to win. Everything is new and that is exciting.

"It's a great opportunity. Conte is a manager who works very hard and likes people to work hard for him as well. I am very pleased to come and play for him here at Chelsea."

Batshuayi scored 23 times in 50 appearances for Marseille last season.
