Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi has joined Besiktas on a season-long loan after extending his Chelsea contract until 2023.
The 27-year-old moved to Stamford Bridge from Marseille in 2016 and has scored 25 goals across 77 appearances for the Blues.
But Batshuayi has regularly spent time away from the club, having been loaned to Borussia Dortmund and Valencia before two spells at Crystal Palace.
