Michy Batshuayi is going to stay at Chelsea after the deadline day of the summer transfer window of 2018-19 season. Tammy Abraham is surely the number one choice of Frank Lampard in the next season. He has been given the most number of minutes in the preseason matches of the Blues.
Before the begining of the new season, Tammy Abraham was given the number 9 jersey. Accoding to Tammy Abraham, Frank Lampard influenced him to take the number 9 jersey. Tammy Abraham was in loan at Aston Villa in the previous season. He was the top scorer of the Championship in the previous season.
After his great performance in the previous season, Tammy Abraham was brought into the squad of the Blues. On the other hand, Michy Batshuayi was also serving a loan period at Crystal Palace in the previous season. The club management of Chelsea decided to bring in these two players because of the transfer ban.
The transfer ban is certainly going to affect Chelsea in this season. Due to the transfer ban, Chelsea will not be able to sign any new player in this summer transfer window. On the other hand, all their rivals have strengthened themselves. The top four race is going to be more intensified this season as the clubs like Wolves , Leicester City and Everton are also strengthening themselves. They are also pushing to get a place in the top six in the next season.
Gonzalo Higuain was the first choice centre forward for the Blues. However, he was a loanee and was not signed permanently by the club management of the Blues because of his poor performance in the previous season. Olivier Giroud is going to stay at Chelsea for another season.
Frank Lampard will like to use the vast experience of Olivier Giroud at the upfront of the field. Olivier Giroud might not be the starter for the Blues in the season. However, he will certainly be used as the backup striker of the Blues in the upcoming season.
So the question mark still remains about the game-time of Michy Batshuayi at Chelsea. However, Chelsea have to play quite a lot of matches in this season. So, at some point of time, Michy Batshuayi will also get his chance in the middle. He might be the third choice striker of the Blues but his chances will surely come.
Frank Lampard have tested two formations throughout the whole preseason tournament. His most preferred formation will be 4-2-3-1. Otherwise he will use 4-4-2 in the second half of the match. If Chelsea go with two strikers upfront, the chances will certainly come to the way of Michy Batshuayi. Batshuayi can score from any area in the penalty box ; but he needs to be more clinical to get regular chances for Chelsea FC. Chelsea will be eyeing to make a top four finish in the Premier League.
If they have to achieve that target, all the players in the squad have to give their best. Michy Batshuayi is ready to fight for his spot at Stamford Bridge despite being third in the pecking order.
