Thibaut Courtois admits ambitions beyond Chelsea

Thibaut Courtois admits he has ambitions beyond Chelsea.

Courtois, signed from Genk in 2011, has listed a number of clubs that he admires.

He reeled off a host of European giants including Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid before insisting he was happy at Stamford Bridge.

Courtois told Sporza: “It's hard to say. That'll never happen, I don't think I will end my career there.

“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."
