Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi: 'My future will be decided after World Cup'

Batshuayi: 'Decide future after World Cup'

Chelsea forward Michy Batshuayi has claimed that he is not going to think about his future at domestic level until after the World Cup.

Batshuayi was only used in a bit-part role by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte before being loaned out to Borussia Dortmund, where nine goals were scored in 14 appearances in all competitions.

A number of clubs are expected to be in the market for the 24-year-old in the summer, but the frontman has insisted that he is only focused on representing Belgium at the World Cup.

At a press conference, the 24-year-old told reporters: "Dortmund was a great experience for me. They welcomed me very warmly. I was in a good environment and you could see that on the pitch.

"It was a while since I had played so much. I can't remember being allowed to play two games in a row at Chelsea. It was good to gain confidence.

"I don't have a preference; they're two beautiful clubs. My focus is on the World Cup right now and I don't want to think about what happens afterwards."

Batshuayi still has three years remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
