Besiktas fans give Chelsea striker Batshuayi hero's welcome at Istanbul airport

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has been swamped by Besiktas fans at Istanbul airport today.

Batshuayi touched down in Turkey to a hero's welcome from Besiktas fans waiting for him at Istanbul airport.

The Chelsea striker has agreed a season-long loan deal with the Turks.

Flash bulbs went off and Batshuayi emerged from a throng of people when he arrived in Istanbul on Monday night, reports the Daily Mail.

He wore sunglasses and had a Besiktas scarf wrapped around his neck while waving to supporters who had gathered to greet him.

Batshuayi was then whisked away in a car to settle into his new home, where he will remain for the rest of the campaign.
