Chelsea have secured the signature of Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi on a five-year deal.

The Premier league club reportedly splashed over €40 million on bringing the 22-year-old to Stamford Bridge.

The Belgium international reportedly went through a medical in Bordeaux last week following his country’s exit from Euro 2016.

He becomes Antonio Conte‘s first signing.

Batshuayi who had an impressive Ligue 1 season, netting 17 goals in 36 appearances was linked with Tottenham, Juventus and West Ham before settling for the West London club.

He will meet up with Conte and the rest of the squad for a pre-season tour of Austria and America.
