Michy Batshuayi SLAMS former boss Antonio Conte for his treatment at Chelsea... claiming the Italian 'constantly contradicted himself' and 'fooled him far too often' over his playing role when the pair were at Stamford Bridge

Michy Batshuayi has hit out at his former boss Antonio Conte, claiming the Italian 'fooled' him when the pair were at Chelsea.

Batshuayi was one of Conte's first signings when he arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2016 as the Blues splashed out £33m on the Belgian striker.

However, the forward quickly found himself behind Diego Costa and then Alvaro Morata in the pecking order, and was limited to just 32 league appearances in his two seasons under Conte. Batshuayi has stated that he was made to believe he was going to be a major part of Conte's plans when he signed, but feels the manager was not completely honest with him.
