Courtois yet to pen new terms with Chelsea

Thibaut Courtois is yet to sign new terms with Chelsea.

The London Evening Standard says Courtois will not sign a new deal until he discovers whether he has won his battle with Petr Cech to be Chelsea's No1 goalkeeper.

Jose Mourinho will tell Courtois and Cech on Sunday who will be his first choice and start against Burnley in the club's opening Premier League game the following night.

Chelsea's treatment of Belgium team-mate Romelu Lukaku has made Courtois hesitate over committing his future. Lukaku joined from Anderlecht for £18million in 2011 but started just one League game in three years for the Blues.
