Bundesliga giants, Borrusia Dortmund, have confirmed signing Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan till the end of the season.

The Belgian forward joined Dortmund as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Bundesliga giants took to their official Twitter to confirm the signing of their newly attack recruit.

Batshuayi only joined Chelsea 18 months ago from Marseille in a deal worth over £30m.

But the 24-year-old did not make the kind of impact he would have expected under Antonio Conte, scoring just Premier League goals this season and two in the current campaign.

Batshuayi never surpassed his role as second-choice striker to both Diego Costa and Alvaro Morata.

Even when the Spaniards were injured, Conte often preferred to deploy midfielder Eden Hazard as a false nine.

But all parties are sure to be hoping that Batshuayi’s loan move helps him to develop as a player.

He will wear the number 44 shirt at Dortmund and could automatically become their No 1 forward.

Batshuayi said: “In order to reach my big goal, I want to play as much as I can and score many goals because there is the World Cup this summer.”

The Belgian forward wasted no time in jelling with new teammates as he had his first training session with his new team less than 24 hours after his London switch.

NAIJ.com previously reported that French striker Olivier Giroud has completed £18 million move to reigning Premier League champions Chelsea from Arsenal on 18 month deal.
