Atletico Madrid To Land New Chelsea Keeper On Loan

Chelsea new boy Thibaut Courtois will fly out to Spain to finalize a loan move to Atletico Madrid.

Courtois, 19, is set to complete his dream move to Chelsea this week from Genk, but is set to go straight out on loan so he can get some regular first-team football.

The Belgian star is regarded as one of the best young keepers in Europe but knows he needs to be patient as he waits to make his breakthrough into the Chelsea first-team.

Atletico Madrid was in the race to sign Courtois on a permanent basis, but could not compete with Chelsea and is now looking to secure a loan deal for the 19-year-old.

Courtois is hoping that the terms can be agreed quickly and he can focus on getting himself ready for the start of the La Liga season which gets underway next month.
