Michy Batshuayi has been playing second-fiddle to Diego Costa who has been in massive form this season, and Nemanja Matic believes that the Spanish international can be a good influence on the young striker.

“Of course he has benefited from working with him,” said the Serbian. “It was the same with me seven years ago. It was very good for me to see how Frank Lampard played, how Michael Ballack played and Michael Essien.  So it is good for Michy and a good experience for him to see Diego’s movement.”
