Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has revealed that he could end up playing for Tottenham after out lining that the west London club has already outlined his future.
The Belgian stopper was only brought into the club in the summer but was immediately loaned to Spanish side Atletico Madrid as a replacement for David de Gea.
The Spain Under-21 star was bought by Manchester United in the summer and Atletico immediately contacted Chelsea about taking their new signing on a one-year loan.
Now, Courtois has explained to Spanish radio station Onda Cero that Chelsea has outlined a plan that could see him join Tottenham of Fulham in the future.
"Chelsea told me that I would spend two years in a team like Atletico," said Courtois. "At the moment is only one year, but if they want me for a second Chelsea are fine with that. It is possible."
"After that I would then spend one more season with an English club, like Fulham or Tottenham, to allow me to adapt to the English league. Then in the fourth season everything would be normal at Chelsea."
Tottenham currently have two vastly experienced keepers as their first choice and reserve with Brad Friedel, 40, and Carlo Cudicini, 38, so could well be on the lookout for a younger stopper.
Courtois has looked impressive for Atletico so far this season and the 19-year-old has a big reputation after arriving at Chelsea for £8million.
The youngster has also called into question the future of Petr Cech by declaring that he does not know how much longer the keeper can keep playing at the top level.
"Chelsea’s goalkeeping coach told me he doesn’t know how much time Cech can play at the top level. I know he has problems in his knees and on his back."
