Thibaut Courtois was born in Bree, Belgium on the 11th of May, in 1992. He began to play football as a left-back with Bilzen V.V at the age of five years old. Two years later in 1999, he joined the youth ranks of Belgian professional football club K.R.C Genk where his position changed from left-back to goalkeeper. Nine years later, at the age of only sixteen years old, he made his first team debut. Two years later, he helped Genk become champions of the Belgian League. In 2011, Chelsea FC signed the Belgian goalkeeper. He is currently on loan with La Liga side, Athletico Madrid who are second in La Liga behind FC Barcelona. Courtois has made many great impressions with Athletico Madrid and has been called one of the best goalkeepers in Europe. He has got great agility, reflexes, and has got great aerial presence thanks to his incredible height of 199cm. Just under 2 metres! At the age of 20 years old, Courtois has won the Belgian League, the Europa League, and the European Super Cup. Rumours say that as Victor Valdes's contract ends, FC Barcelona will be looking to make an offer for the young Belgian goalkeeper. The young Belgian has got a great future.
Where will he end up?
Will he fill Petr Cech's boots or will he be heading to the Nou Camp?
