Real Madrid coach Zidane agrees to signing Chelsea keeper Courtois

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane would be happy with the signing of Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Cadena COPE says Real have plans to sign two keepers over the next two transfer windows.

Athletic Bilbao keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga will join in January for a set fee, despite the youngster's deal expiring in June.

And the same report says Zidane has settled on Courtois as his new No1 from next season.

The Frenchman has given his approval for Courtois to be signed over the summer, which will see Keylor Navas move on.

If all goes to plan, Real will go into season 2018/19 with a keeper pool of Courtois, Kepa and Zidane's son Luca Zidane as his three senior goalkeepers.
