#3 Michy Batshuayi (From Chelsea to Borussia Dortmund)

Batshuayi has made an instant impact in Germany

Many eyebrows were raised when Antonio Conte let go of Batshuayi in the January transfer window. The Belgian was showing promise in London, particularly at a time when Eden Hazard was struggling as a false-nine and Alvaro Morata was woefully out of form.

The striker was part of a transfer-triangle which saw Arsenal sell Olivier Giroud to Chelsea, Chelsea loan Batshuayi to Dortmund and Dortmund sell Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal. He has settled in well and has made an instant impact at the German club.

He wasted no time and scored a brace and bagged an assist on his debut and has gone on to score 8 goals in 11 appearances for the club. The Belgian has re-ignited his career and Dortmund find themselves fighting for the second place alongside Schalke, behind runaway leaders Bayern Munich.
