Chelsea boss Antonio Conte backs Michy Batshuayi to make "impact"

By , Staff Reporter
New Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says that Michy Batshuayi will make an "impact" at the club.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has claimed that summer signing Michy Batshuayi will make an "impact" at Stamford Bridge.

The 22-year-old is Conte's first capture since the Italian was appointed as Jose Mourinho's successor.

Batshuayi completed his move to the Premier League club from Marseille for a fee in the region of £33m.

In his first official press conference as Chelsea manager, Conte told reporters: "Absolutely I think Michy can make an impact because he is a young player but very strong, with good technique.

"He uses two feet. He is a great talent. I am very happy that Batshuayi is with us and I know the club bought a great player for the present and the future."

The striker scored 17 goals in Ligue 1 last season.
