Michy Batshuayi could prove to be an exciting player to watch this season, given how well he performed while he was on loan at Dortmund.

The Chelsea man hasn’t got a lot of opportunities to shine at his parent club so far, given he faced competition from the likes of Diego Costa, Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud.

Batshuayi spent the second half of last season on loan at Dortmund, and ended his short spell in the Bundesliga with 9 goals in 14 games. Although there were rumours of potential suitors for him, Chelsea still believe there is a future for the 24 year old at the club. This explains why they’ve only loaned him out.

Valencia’s style of play helps their forwards score plenty of goals, and the fact that Rodrigo Moreno, Santi Mina and Simone Zaza scored 19, 15 and 13 goals respectively, shows that plenty of goals can be expected of Batshuayi this season.
