Leeds signing Casilla: Courtois arrival changed everything at Real Madrid

Leeds United signing Kiko Casilla admits Thibaut Courtois' arrival at Real Madrid shook up the club's goalkeepers.

Casilla left Real for Leeds last week.

And he said: "I knew what it was with Courtois and Keylor (Navas), I was able to leave in the summer and I knew that I would be on the outside for the whole year. "Being a third goalkeeper is not easy, since August I did not play a game. I had two options to leave or accept the role helping the team, it's the option I took and then when it was time to leave I was ready."

On Keylor's situation, he continued: "It's a complicated situation, the fans love him, he's been fundamental for the team, and when he's had to surrender, he's surrendered.

"I have not talked about it with him, I knew there was going to be competition with Keylor and Courtois.

"Both are two great goalkeepers and they have shown it."
