Courtois has been with the Blues now since joining the Premier League giants from Belgium outfit Genk on a five-year deal for a fee of just £5 million back in July 2011.
However, amazingly the shot stopper has still to even make a single competitive appearance for the club in that time, with Chelsea instead opting to send Courtois out on loan to Atletico in Spain for three seasons in a row now.
