Courtois planning future Chelsea exit

Thibaut Courtois has admitted that he will not be ending his career at Premier League side Chelsea.

Courtois is considered as one of the finest young goalkeepers in Europe at the moment and it is no surprise that Chelsea rate the Belgian international as an indispensable part of their squad.

Following Chelsea's struggles last season though, Courtois has been making noises that he might look to leave Stamford Bridge in the foreseeable future and the 24-year-old has now gone on to admit that he will not be ending his career with the Premier League giants.

The custodian admitted: "It's hard to say. I don't think I will end my career here. I didn't have [a favourite club growing up]. In Spain I watched a lot of Madrid and Barca.

"In Germany I watched Bayern and Dortmund, in England, Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea, and in Italy Juventus and Milan.

"There wasn't one favourite but I always wanted to play at those clubs. I don't necessarily have a desire to play there, I'm already at a beautiful club, Chelsea which I always admired but we will see."
