Thibaut Courtois sends message to Chelsea star Eden Hazard over Real Madrid transfer move

Thibaut Courtois sends message to Chelsea star Eden Hazard over Real Madrid transfer move

Thibaut Courtois says it would be 'fantastic' if Chelsea star Eden Hazard was to join him at Real Madrid.

Belgium goalkeeper Courtois says it is a 'dream' to finally sign for Real Madrid, who he labelled the 'best club in the world'.

The 26-year-old has made no secret of his desire to join the Spanish giants, with his two children currently based in Madrid.

A number of Chelsea fans are unhappy with Courtois after he went on strike to force through the move.

And his reputation in west London is unlikely to improve any time soon after he admitted he would like Hazard to join him at Madrid.

Hazard, 27, has been persistently linked with a move to the Bernabeu over the last few years.

At his unveiling at Real Madrid, Courtois said: '[Hazard] is very happy that I am here, he is a great player and I would like to be always at his side.

'Let's see what happens in the future, if he can come, it would be fantastic.'

On his move to Real, Courtois added: 'Today I am realising a dream. This is the best club in the world.'

Chelsea, meanwhile, have signed Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga as Courtois' replacement in a world-record deal worth over £70million.

The 23-year-old, who arrives from Athletic Bilbao, wants to become a legend at Chelsea and win multiple trophies with the club.

'I'd like to be remembered at this club when I leave years down the line as a goalkeeper that has helped the club win a lot of titles and gone down in history in that way,' he said.

'All clubs need to fight to win titles and all players want is to win. So what I would like is to win more titles for the club. This is what I aspire to do.

'On a personal level I'd like to be remembered as someone who got on with everyone. A likeable person who people enjoyed having around.'
