Crystal Palace have strengthened their strikeforce by signing Michy Batshuayi on a season-long from Chelsea.

Batshuayi returns to Palace for a second loan spell after scoring five goals in 11 appearances for the Eagles in the second half of the 2018/19 season.

"I feel like I'm home now, so it's good," Batshuayi, who reclaims the No 23 shirt, told Palace's official website. "But I need to do a good season here, to work a lot with my team-mates and I want to do my best here."

The 26-year-old forward joined Chelsea in 2016, scoring eight PL goals, including the winner at West Bromwich Albion that clinched the Blues' fifth Premier League title in May 2017.
