Michy Batshuayi Tunga (born 2 October 1993) is a Belgian footballer who plays for English club Chelsea and the Belgian national team as a striker.
He began his professional career at Standard Liège in 2011, scoring 44 goals in 120 games across all competitions. His 21 goals in the 2013–14 Belgian Pro League made him the second-highest scorer, and contributed to his Ebony Shoe Award. He then transferred to Marseille for £4.5 million, helping them reach the 2016 Coupe de France Final. After that, he was signed by Chelsea for £33 million.
Batshuayi scored on his international debut for Belgium against Cyprus in March 2015. He was part of their side that reached the quarter-finals of UEFA Euro 2016.
Born in Brussels, Batshuayi had a nomadic youth career with spells at Evere, Schaarbeek, FC Brussels (twice) and Anderlecht before he joined Standard Liège.
Batshuayi made his debut for the senior team on 20 February 2011 in a 4–1 loss away to Gent, replacing Franck Berrier for the last seven minutes. Six days later he made his only other appearance of the Belgian Pro League season, filling in for Aloys Nong in the last minute of a 3–0 victory against Mechelen at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne.
