Thibaut Courtois tells Chelsea supporters that he never indicated he wanted to leave
Says Belgian ace: 'Am I upset fans have the wrong impression? Yes, of course. I don't want them to think bad of me'
THIBAUT COURTOIS insists he is staying at Chelsea and that any hint to the contrary was fuelled by an interview that was mistranslated.
The Belgian keeper, keen to repel speculation that he is looking to leave, has reassured fans he does not want to go by insisting:
“I am very happy at Chelsea and want to stay. I will try to show in every game that I am one of the best keepers in the world.
"It unfortunately has given the supporters the wrong impression,
"It has put me and Chelsea in a bad light, that's not good. I have never said I wanted to leave or anything. When it looks like I'm being put against the supporters, it's not nice.
"Am I upset the fans have the wrong impression of me? Yes, of course. I don't want them to think bad of me.
