Batshuayi renews with Chelsea and joins Besiktas on loan
It's now official. After Michy Batshuayi had landed on Turkish soil to complete his move, Besiktas announced what had been rumoured for a while - he would join for the club for the 2021/22 season.
The Turkish club communicated via their official channels that they had reached an agreement with Chelsea over the loan of the Belgian international. A loan deal that was made known just after the Blues announced Batshuayi's renewal until June 2023, whose previous contract expired in 2022.

What caught the attention most was the manner in which his new club announced his signing. Besiktas turned the striker into Batman in their introductory video, re-naming him the 'Batsman' using an obvious play on words.
