Posted Saturday, May 21, 2011 by Talksport.co.uk
Chelsea will face stiff competition from their Premier League rivals for the services of Genk's goalkeeping starlet Thibaut Courtois.
It has been reported that Chelsea are closing in on the 19-year-old Belgian and could complete a deal for him this summer.
But now, according to reports in Belgium, Manchester City and Tottenham are ready to join the race for the highly-rated shot stopper.
It was also revealed that Chelsea have already had a £3m bid turned down by Genk, who want the youngster to continue his development for the club he joined in 1999.
But they are expected to let him leave should they receive an offer upwards of £6m this summer.
As well as interest from England, Champions League semi-finalists Schalke are also keeping an eye on Courtois with Manuel Neuer expected to leave them this summer.
