You can say what you like about Michy Batshuayi, but there’s no denying he knows his way into the back of the net.
The Belgian may not be to Maurizio Sarri’s taste, hence his loan to Valencia in the summer, but managerial judgements are not always fair reflections of players’ quality.
Batshuayi is a brilliant striker, and with Chelsea’s impending transfer ban set to prevent the acquisition of another, the time may soon be upon us for Michy to get his chance.
He’s doing himself no harm with his performances for Crystal Palace right now. He’s proving that he’s ready for the Premier League, and took another step towards doing so a brilliant finish against Watford on Saturday afternoon.
With Watford leading in their FA Cup quarter-final clash, Palace needed a moment of brilliance from one of their players. They got it from one of ours – Michy Batshuayi.

Batshuayi scores goals – and that’s what Chelsea have lacked for several years. Sarri ought to realise what his worth to the team could be if he was given a chance.
This upcoming summer could prove to be a pivotal one in Michy’s Chelsea career, but for now, he ought to enjoy having regular game-time at Selhurst Park.
