Aug 17 (Reuters) - Former Chelsea and Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi ​has joined newly promoted Saudi Pro ‌League side Abha on a free transfer after leaving Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt, ​the club said on Monday.
 
The ​32-year-old arrived at Frankfurt from Turkish ⁠champions Galatasaray in February 2025 ​and scored four goals in 21 ​appearances in all competitions for the German side.
