Remember Michy Batshuayi's goal against West Brom that sealed the Premier League title for Chelsea, a team that finished on 10th place the preceding year, in 2017? The boy from Belgium was destined for bigger things, courtesy of his knack of scoring goals freely.

However, he fell out of favor when Chelsea roped in Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.

The 'Batsman', as they call him, is in the squad that has traveled to Ireland as well. With Morata having secured a permanent move to Atletico Madrid and Olivier Giroud being the only striker alongside, perhaps, Tammy Abraham, it's time Batshuayi grabs his opportunity with both hands.

He certainly has the technical and physical game in his armor, as seen in the 2016-17 season of the Premier League and at times, for Belgium. Chelsea have long been thirsty for a striker of Didier Drogba or Diego Costa's caliber, and it's time Batshuayi gives it to his faithful.
