Chelsea stopper Thibaut Courtois admits that he wants his contract situation resolved at the club before the end of the season.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has insisted that he wants to reach a decision on a new contract before the end of the season.

The Belgian stopper had put talks over a deal on hold in order to give himself time to consider his options, with some reports stating that a future decision could be influenced by the fact that his two children are currently living in Spain with the keeper's former girlfriend.

"My private situation is always gnawing a little bit, but for the rest, I'm feeling very good at Chelsea," said Courtois, according to Sky Sports News. "I don't see any reason why I won't sign a new deal. I just want to consider all options. Everything has to be right.

"It's not the right moment to make hastily decisions. Not for Chelsea, not for me.

"Within a couple of months, we will sit around the table again and talk openly. There's no pressure, apart from the media. The club knows that too. Basically, I want an agreement before the end of the season."

Courtois has been a mainstay at the Blues this term, having started all of the club's Premier League games.
