Chelsea keeper Courtois: I'll go where Hazard goes...

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois says his future is tied to Belgium teammate Eden Hazard.

After Belgium's World Cup win over England, when asked about his future, the 26-year-old said he wants to continue playing with Hazard.

Courtois, a target for Real Madrid, said: "Wherever I go, Hazard must come along. We will not let each other go. We'll see. Now first vacation. And agree with my entourage in between."

But Courtois also made clear that he could still stay at Stamford Bridge once he has spoken to new boss Maurizio Sarri.

He said: "Now I'm going to talk to my manager to see what the possibilities are.

"All options are open to me. Also stay at Chelsea, yes. People always complain that players do not comply with their contracts, but maybe I will.

“I do not think they will keep someone with my qualities on the bench, even if I do not sign. But maybe that's possible because I like being in London."
