Former Chelsea striker Batshuayi joins Abha

Former Chelsea and Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi is embarking on a new chapter in his career, signing with newly promoted Saudi Pro League side Abha. The move was confirmed on Monday, with the club announcing the 32-year-old's arrival on a free transfer after his departure from German club Eintracht Frankfurt.

Batshuayi joined Frankfurt in February 2025 from Turkish champions Galatasaray. During his tenure with the German side, he netted four goals in 21 appearances across all competitions. Abha shared the news on X, formerly Twitter, posting pictures from the signing ceremony and a statement: "One chance is all he needs ... Michy Batshuayi is Abhawi."

The Belgian international brings a wealth of experience to Abha, having previously played for Standard Liege, Olympique de Marseille, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Borussia Dortmund, Valencia, Besiktas, Fenerbahce, and Galatasaray. His international career includes being part of Belgium's squad that secured third place at the 2018 World Cup and participating in the 2022 tournament in Qatar. Abha recently began their return to the top flight with a 2-1 loss against Al Hazem.
