Courtois wants Hazard reunion in Madrid

Thibaut Courtois signed for Real Madrid on Thursday before revealing he is keen for former Chelsea team-mate Eden Hazard to join him at the Bernabeu.

The Belgium international, named best goalkeeper at the World Cup this summer as he helped his country to third-place, has signed a six-year deal after completing a medical on Thursday.

Courtois had a year remaining on his Chelsea deal and did not report for training with the Blues this week, before the transfer was agreed for a reported £31.5million.

A video on Real Madrid's official Twitter feed showed Courtois signing his contract alongside club president Florentino Perez.

The 26-year-old then posed for pictures on the pitch before speaking to the media, where he said he would love to be reunited with reported Madrid target Hazard - who remains at Chelsea for the time being.

"He's a wonderful player," Courtois said of his compatriot at his press conference.

"I'd love to play alongside him again and we'll have to see what happens in the future. If he ends up here one day, that would be brilliant."

Chelsea confirmed the departure of the 26-year-old with a statement on their website, signing off with praise for their former goalkeeper.

"He has played an important role in the club's success, and we wish him the best of luck for the future," it read.
