5 players who could leave Chelsea this summer

#2 Thibaut Courtois

With tireless speculation, Chelsea's number one is expected to leave the club soon

Had David de Gea not been in the picture, Chelsea's first-choice goalkeeper would have been the league's best by a long margin. Since his return to London from a successful loan spell with Atlético Madrid, he has certainly lived up to expectations and delivered well for his team-mates when they've needed him most.

The 25-year-old has earned 46 clean sheets for the Blues in the league. However this term, he has often found himself disappointed by his backline. Standing behind a nervy, inconsistent defence at times this term, he's still managed to keep 13 clean sheets - a statistic which is only bettered by de Gea.

Recently though, reports have emerged linking him with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer, as Los Blancos continue their search for a long-term Keylor Navas replacement.

Reportedly a fallback option if they fail to sign de Gea, Courtois is believed to be desperate to push for a move back to his homeland - where the majority of his family are currently residing.

He's got a big decision to make, whether he accepts Chelsea's latest contract offer - £200,000-a-week - or pushes hard for a return to La Liga with the Champions League winners sniffing around.
