Chelsea boss Mourinho: Courtois best young keeper in the world

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has dubbed Thibaut Courtois the "best young goalkeeper in the world".

Courtois has arrived to challenge Petr Cech for No1 status at the Blues.

"It's a good problem for me," Mourinho said. "Thibaut just arrived, he arrived as the best young goalkeeper in the world. They will fight and for me it is a good.

"I was never afraid to make big decisions. I prefer to make this decision than to have a keeper I don't trust."
