Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is close to signing a new deal at the club after ousting Petr Cech as No 1.
The Belgium international still has two years remaining on the contract he signed when moving from Genk in July 2011, but is already on the verge of extending it to ward off any interest and reward his early form.
"It's not yet signed," Courtois said.
"I am here [in Belgium] with the national team so it is difficult, but when I am back at Chelsea I will probably sign the new contract."
The shot-stopper has started the first three Premier League games of the season but Cech has so far remained to fight for a place in the first XI.
