Batman rises... but Chelsea fans aren't so happy! Blues outcast Michy Batshuayi is unveiled as Besiktas' new loanee superhero - but only after signing a contract extension following failure to find a permanent buyer
- Batshuayi signed for the Blues in 2016 but struggled to nail down a starting spot
- And the club have given the Belgian forward a fresh contract running to 2023
- Batshuayi, 27, could make his debut for the Turkish Super Lig side on Saturday
Michy Batshuayi's season-long loan to Besiktas has been officially confirmed in a hilarious superhero-themed announcement video.
However, Chelsea have tied the Belgian striker down to a new two-year contract extension, running until 2023.
The move to the Turkish Super Lig side is his fifth spell away from the club since signing from Marseille back in 2016.
