Having replaced Petr Cech as the Blues' No.1
goalkeeper this season, the 22-year-old has now put
pen to paper on a new five-year contract to stay at
Stamford Bridge
Thibaut Courtois has signed a new
five-year contract with Chelsea.The
club has announced in August that the 22-
year-old was set to commit his future
to the Blues in a deal which would
see his wages rise to £90,000-a-week,
having been confirmed as the club's new No.1 goalkeeper.
And Courtois, who has started all of Chelsea's games ahead of Petr
Cech so far this season, is relieved to finally confirm that he will
remain at Stamford Bridge for the long-term.
"I'm very happy with this new deal. It's really nice to have signed
this new contract for five years," the Belgian told the club's official
website.
"My future was already sorted but it's nice to know I'm going to be
here for another five years and now I can just concentrate on
playing games."
Signed from Genk in 2011, Courtois spent three years on loan with
Atletico Madrid, winning Copa del Rey and La Liga and establishing
himself as one of the world's finest goalkeepers.
