Thibaut Courtois nears Chelsea deal

Thibaut Courtois is moving closer to completing a move to the Premier League with Chelsea. The Belgian 19 year old goalkeeper is being lined up as a long term replacement for Petr Cech.

"He [Thibault] was in in Chelsea last week," Thierry Courtois, the players father and agent, revealed to Belgian press.

"I think Chelsea and Genk have reached an agreement. Tuesday we will come and talk about the transfer."

Chelsea will pay an estimated £2m to bring the keeper to Stamford Bridge.
