Thibaut Courtois has high hopes of learning from Petr Cech at Chelsea. According to Courtois, Cech is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and that he would like to see him at Chelsea in order to gain from the Czech Republic international's vast experience.

"Petr has has a really nice 10 years here. He's one of the best goalkeepers in the world. You can learn a lot from every keeper you train with."

What remains to be seen is whether the well-experienced and renowned stopper is prepared to play back-up even though there is likely to be no shortage of interest in his services if he becomes available. In lieu with this, Courtois, in whatever circumstances, is still hoping that he and Chelsea can continue benefitting from Cech's presence.

"Every goalkeeper can have a type of thing they are usually good at so when you see them train you can learn from him and other keepers, too. It helps you during training."

Courtois signed with Chelsea three years ago, but because of the loan, it took until Thursday to have is first training session at the club. He said he is happy to be there and take part of the training.

With all the hopes that he has, Courtois also believes that Chelsea should do their best and what they can in order to keep Cech for the 22-year-old Belgium international plays a vital role in the field that also determines the strength of the team.

He added that Chelsea has a really good team of players with a lot of quality and that it will be a real challenge to be in the starting XI. He said that a big group with a lot of quality is essential in winning the season.

"It's great there is competition for places. With Belgium we experience the same thing. It helps the players improve and play even better."
