Chelsea's Courtois reiterates Atletico Madrid stance

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has reiterated his desire to remain with Atletico Madrid for another season.

The 19-year old Belgian was sent on loan immediately after joining the Blues from RacingGenk last summer but is loving his time at the Vicente Calderon Stadium so much that he wants to extend his stay in Spain if possible.

"I'm on loan from Chelsea and belong to them, but now my team is Atletico. I work to make their fans happy," Courtois told Spanish newspaper AS.

"I love when they chant my name. I want to stay another season with Atletico, but I'll have to wait and see.

"I'm not 100 per cent certain, but I would be glad to continue with them - and believe it will happen."
