Michy Batshuayi has agreed his loan move to Borussia Dortmund.
The striker was involved in a transfer merry-go-round involving Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Olivier Giroud.
Dortmund wanted to be certain of replacing the Gabonese before sanctioninfinite his £60m move to Arsenal.
And now Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi is the man heading to Dortmund to replace Aubameyang.
His departure has paved the way for Chelsea to move for Arsenal's Olivier Giroud in an £18m deal.
The Belgian striker joined Chelsea from Marseille in 2016 and scored the crucial goal to secure the Premier League title last term.
But he has largely played second fiddle, first to Diego Costa and this term Alvaro Morata.
And as the World Cup looms large this summer, he will try to use this move to boost his chances of being named in Roberto Martinez's squad to Russia.
