Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois enjoying life in London

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois hints that he has no desire to leave the club this summer as he finds it "really nice" living in London.

Thibaut Courtois has cooled talk of a Chelsea exit this summer by insisting that he is currently very happy with life in London.

The Belgium international's future appeared to be in the balance recently after agent Christophe Henrotay confessed that he regularly meets with Real Madrid officials.

Madrid are said to have been keeping a close eye on the former Atletico Madrid keeper in recent months, seeing him as an ideal replacement for current first-choice stopper Keylor Navas.

Courtois has suggested that he sees no reason to leave Stamford Bridge at this moment in time, however, as he is content with life in the English capital.

"I think London is an amazing city, it's really nice to live in London," he said in a video posted on his Facebook page. "I think it is a multicultural city, there is a lot to do; great restaurants.

"I live just a bit outside of London, in Wimbledon, it's really nice. I have Richmond Park close to me and Wimbledon Village is really nice to go to with the family. I think life in London is good.

"It is a very good city to live in and I think it is amazing. I like to live here; it is a very good city."

Courtois made 36 Premier League appearances for champions Chelsea last season, keeping 16 clean sheets in total.
