Michy Batshuayi: My deep love for Chelsea

Michy Batshuayi has declared he wants to stay with Chelsea.

The Belgian striker joined the Blues in 2016 for £33.2million but has since been loaned out three times.

He said: "I have never been a full-fledged starter, but Chelsea is my club, that's where I feel at home.

"It's a club I love deeply."

The striker admitted despite his open personality, he chooses wisely when to “play it up" after struggling with disciplinary problems at the start of his career.

Batshuayi added: “When I was young, it's true that I had some problems of discipline.

“But what young person doesn't? Today, I'm 26 years old, I can channel myself and I work at training and in the game.

“I'm playful, but I choose my moments: at 0-0 I'm going to be serious, at 2 or 3-0 I'm going to play it up. Being cool is part of my personality.

“But it's true: the pressure of football imposes the need to perform and win. The competition is raging, and seriousness is needed."
