Michy Batshuayi slams Antonio Conte and claims he was "fooled" by ex-Chelsea boss

Michy Batshuayi believes he was signed by Chelsea under false pretences during Antonio Conte's time in at Stamford Bridge.

The Belgium international, 28, joined the Blues from Marseille in the summer of 2016 - shortly after Conte's appointment - but failed to make the grade at Stamford Bridge. He played just 77 senior games for the club before joining Fenerbahce in the summer.

Batshuayi spent most of his Chelsea career out on loan, completing spells at Borussia Dortmund, Valencia, Crystal Palace and Besiktas. The forward claims he was signed to play regularly under Conte, but made just 20 Premier League outings in his debut season.
