Navas: I want to be Real's first-choice keeper

Keylor Navas is set to do battle with new goalkeeper Kiko Casilla, while Real Madrid continue to be linked with David de Gea.

Costa Rica international Keylor Navas insisted he is happy at Real Madrid as he bids to become the club's first-choice goalkeeper, despite the potential arrival of Manchester United shot-stopper David de Gea.

"My aim is to keep fighting for my place. I want to be the first-choice keeper," he said. "I have five years left on my contract, I'm very happy to be here and I want to win a lot of trophies."

Real is interested in signing de Gea, who is reportedly ready to swap Manchester for his hometown of Madrid, though it remains unclear whether the La Liga giants will pursue the Spain international after recruiting countryman Kiko Casilla.
