Maurizio Sarri clearly doesn't fancy him

Michy Batshuayi has joined Valencia CF on loan from Chelsea for the 2018/19 season. The Belgian striker spent the second half of last season on loan at Borussia Dortmund and returned after a prolific spell in Germany hoping to break back into the Chelsea side. But Maurizio Sarri has decided to back Álvaro Morata to bounce back into form aftera disappointing first season. Olivier Giroud willd deputise for Morata with Batshuayi on loan at Valencia. Batshuayi should get a lot more game time at Valencia, with Marcelino favouring a 4-4-2 formation. The 'Batsman' will play alongside one of Simone Zaza, Rodrigo Moreno and Santi Mina up front.
