Blues agree Courtois deal
By Rob Parrish - Last Updated: July 16, 2011 4:04pm
Chelsea have agreed to sign highly-rated teenage goalkeeper Thibaut
Courtois on a five-year deal from Genk, the Belgian champions have
announced.
Reports suggest that the Stamford Bridge outfit have invested €9million
(￡7.9million) to land the well-regarded 19-year-old.
Courtois, who has been compared to former Manchester United shot-stopper
Edwin van der Sar, has been earning rave reviews for his performances in
Belgium.
Genk admitted that they had little option but to let their last line of
defence depart once the Blues made their intentions plain with a
substantial bid.
"We received an enormous offer that gave us no choice but to let our
goalkeeper leave," Genk director Dirk Degraen told a press conference.
"But I have mixed feelings about this transfer. Genk wanted Thibaut to
stay a bit longer."
Courtois, who has already been capped by his country despite his age, was
under contract in his homeland until 2014 and does not expect immediate
first-team action in West London.
"Chelsea see me as the successor to Petr Cech," he admitted recently. "It
won't happen in one or two years, but in three, four or five years. I can
therefore work on my development in peace."

COURTOIS UNDERGOING MEDICAL
Posted on: Mon 18 Jul 2011
Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is
undergoing a medical in England after we agreed terms with RC Genk for the
transfer of the 19-year-old on Sunday.
Speaking after arriving in Kuala Lumpur on the club's pre-season tour,
Villas-Boas said: 'At this moment he is having a medical but has not yet
agreed personal terms.'
Courtois, who won the Belgian Goalkeeper of the Year and RC Genk Player of
the Year awards last season, made his debut in 2009 while still 16, and
has been a member of his national team's squad for the recent European
Championship qualifier against Turkey.
It is not expected that he will join up with the squad in Asia should the
transfer be completed in time.
