Top 3 Bargain Buys That Made Chelsea FC Super Strong

2. Thibaut Courtois

There has been a lot said about Thibaut Courtois since his arrival at Chelsea in 2011. Highly rated, the young goalkeeper looks set to take over as the Chelsea No.1 in a few years, assuming Chelsea can fend off interest from some of Europe’s best clubs. Recent reports from Spain and England suggest that both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid are preparing bids, as well as current loan club Athletico Madrid. With such demand, and praise coming from the continent over, the Belgian seems to be fast-tracking his development somewhat. Thibaut Nicolas Marc Courtois-one of Europe’s finest?

The Belgian goalkeeper is one of the best shotstoppers in the world and the way he is improving, he can be the greatest keeper in the world in some years. And to think that Chelsea got him for £7.9 million  was a steal. He was transferred from Genk to Chelsea, but he spent three seasons at Atletico Madrid and that is where he vastly improved as a player. Chelsea recalled him this season and now he is the starter ahead of Cech. The 22 year old has already attracted the attention of the football world and under Mourinho he can only grow as a player.
