Batshuayi impressed with "classy" Bolt

Forward Michy Batshuayi has joked that he hopes that Usain Bolt does not take his place at Borussia Dortmund.

Last week, Bolt took part in two training sessions with the German club, and the former sprinter has since revealed that he has been invited back at a later date.

Batshuayi is currently on international duty with Belgium, but the Chelsea loanee has said that he was impressed with Bolt after watching a video of the Jamaican.

The 24-year-old told Belgian reporters: "I watched the videos. He did nutmegs and scored a good goal. He's a champion. He pushes himself beyond his limits every day.

"He wants to beat all the records. He's trying to establish himself in another sport, that's classy, I'm happy for him. But I hope he doesn't come and take my place."

Batshuayi has scored eight goals in 11 appearances during his loan period at the Bundesliga outfit.
