According to Pat Nevin, who supported the Belgian international to flourish at Crystal Palace.
Batshuayi has completed a loan transfer on the day-limit to Selhurst Park after failing to impress Maurizio Sarri.
He had spent the first half of the season on loan at the La Liga heavyweight in Valencia.
However, he found life difficult in the last Spanish rank and was sent packing.
Nevin insists that Batshuayi can prove that the doubt is false.
"Michy Batshuayi is a fantastic scorer," he told the BBC.
"I'm not sure of his career but he could score more goals than any Chelsea striker this season!"
The palace director, Roy Hodgson, explained that the excluded group of Blues was a player he had been following for a while.
"This is a player we discussed regarding the signing of an advanced player before the opening of the transfer window, so it's a name that's been on our lips for a while," Hodgson said. official website of Crystal Palace.
"Our initial requests were that it was likely to be loaned again, but not necessarily to an English club.
"Quite late, we realized that there was an opportunity and that there were several clubs for him and that it was only just at the last minute that Chelsea decided that he was not there. he was going to be loaned, we would be the first candidate.
"We immediately took the lead and Dougie Freedman and Steve Parish were extremely successful in this limited period to get the transfer on the line.
"If you look at his goals record in every club he's played in since the beginning, he's been really good.
"He is a well-known scorer, we have always loved what we have seen.
"I had researched when his name appeared as a possibility for us early in the window.
"I spoke to two or three people I know and whom I rely on as a player and character. What I had were very very good references.
"There was a little good fortune from us that came from our side.
"There was a glimmer of hope and this hope was strengthened during the day.
"The president and Doug Freedman did a good job of making sure that we got the deal and that we were able to provide some last-minute drama on television.
"I knew from Doug that maybe the deal was with Chelsea at around 8:30 and that Doug was about to finalize it.
"But I do not know the ins and outs of these agreements, I must say that I do not really know what to do, what papers need to be done. Sky are the experts in the field!
"All I knew was that it was a distinct possibility and we wanted to continue.
"If we wanted to bring this agreement back home if you wish, we would do everything in our power to do it."
