Batshuayi paints his nails with smiley face, Batman logo & Belgium flag

The secret to Michy Batshuayi's recent success may have more to do with his hands than his feet.

The Chelsea star, 26, has been in red-hot form in recent months for club - when given the opportunity - and country.

Batshuayi has scored eight goals this season, including a run of six goals in six games between September and November.

While many fans may believe he's been working hard with his feet, he could owe his form to his newfound love of manicures.

Male Art is an ever-growing trend across the world, made famous by the likes of rapper A$AP Rocky.

And Batshuayi has enjoyed adding a personal touch, including nods to his Batman nickname and his Belgian heritage.

The striker came off the bench in Saturday's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace sporting black and yellow nails - with a Batman symbol on the nail of his middle finger.

He appeared to have the same colour-scheme for the 4-4 Champions League thriller with Ajax midweek and the Carabao Cup clash with Manchester United a week earlier.

Batshayi showed off the colourful nails in the reverse fixture with the Dutch giants last month too, when he scored the winner, as well as during the last international break with Belgium.

Last month, A$AP Rocky revealed he wished more men would be brave enough to follow the #MaleArt trend.

The New York-born star, 31, said: "I feel like men should be able to do nail art without feeling feminine."

But while the fun-loving Batshuayi has enjoyed colourful nods to Batman and even a smiley fans, A$AP Rocky has had more of a mixed bag.

As well as having words like "love" sprawled across his fingers, he recently had "f*** off" stamped across the middle fingers of both hands.
