No Tears: Why Chelsea Fans Will Not Miss Thibaut Courtois After Real Madrid Transfer

The summer's worst kept secret is finally out. Chelsea have authorised star Thibaut Courtois' move to Real Madrid and signed Athletic Bilbao's Kepa Arrizabalaga as his alternative. Yet, most Chelsea fans are happy to see the back of the Belgian.

Earlier this summer, fans were eager for Courtois to stay. After all, he is a fantastic goalkeeper and there are not too many obvious replacements.

However, with the news that Courtois refused to return to training and instead tried to force his move to Madrid, fans appeared to give up trying to accept the Belgian at the club.
