Liverpool great Carragher backs Chelsea's Courtois to star over next decade

Jamie Carragher believes Thibaut Courtois will be one of Europe's top goalkeepers for the next ten years or so.

The Chelsea ace was at his best in the Blues' 3-2 win over Hull City on Sunday despite being at fault for the Tigers' second goal.

Courtois has gone from strength to strength over the past few years since spending time on loan with Atletico Madrid and former Liverpool defender Carragher is expecting him to dominate football for the foreseeable future.

"He had a bit of mix-up in the first half. He's a world class goal keeper to Peter Cech out and what he did last year for Atletico Madrid getting to the Champions League final," Carragher said in the Daily Mail.

"He is a fantastic keeper and he's going to be one of the world's best for a decade or so."
