Michy Batshuayi vows to show Crystal Palace his best form
Sunday 3 February 2019 12:53, UK
Michy Batshuayi has promised to show Crystal Palace his best form after making an immediate impact on his debut as the Eagles beat Fulham 2-0 on Saturday.
The striker, who arrived on loan from Chelsea shortly before the conclusion of the January transfer window on Thursday, had only been on the pitch for five minutes when he created a shooting opportunity to test Sergio Rico, ultimately leading to Jeffrey Schlupp's 87th-minute tap-in.
Batshuayi only met his new manager Roy Hodgson late on Friday afternoon, having previously been on loan at Valencia.
In contrast with his time at Borussia Dortmund, Marseille and Standard Liege, Batshuayi struggled to impress in Spain.
But the lack of a consistent goalscorer has been Palace's biggest weakness this season and Batshuayi told his new club's official website: "I'm going to bring as much as I can to help the team win and get some game time to be at my best.
"(The win over Fulham was) very important. It's good for the team and for me.
"I feel good but I need to train with the team so to have the whole team together will be something that's good.
"I spent one day (with them) before training and with the coach."
