Thibaut Courtois "happy at Chelsea"

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois insists that he is "happy" at Stamford Bridge amid suggestions that he wants to return to Spain.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has insisted that he is "happy" at Stamford Bridge and has played down suggestions of a move to Real Madrid.

In September, the 24-year-old, who spent three straight seasons on loan at Atletico Madrid between 2011 and 2014, claimed that he 'misses the Spanish lifestyle' and would be interested in a return to La Liga.

However, Belgian international Courtois has denied that he held talks with Real Madrid over a move to the Bernabeu before the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

"I never had anything with Real Madrid. I did not see anything published, but I never had any contact with Real Madrid," Courtois told Cadena Cope. "I am happy at Chelsea. Everything is going very well - it is a great club.

"There is no reason not to be happy at Chelsea. You never know what will happen in the future, but at the moment I am very well, in a very good atmosphere."

Courtois returned to Chelsea in 2014 to replace Petr Cech as the club's number one goalkeeper.
