Atletico Madrid<\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/p>\n

Thibaut Courtois is pinching himself over his move to Chelsea<\/a><\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

After completing a medical in London last weekend, the \u00a37million signing from Belgian champions Genk had a brief meeting with manager Andrea Villas-Boas and met some of his new team-mates, before Chelsea<\/a><\/abbr> left for their pre-season tour of Malaysia.<\/p>\n

A star-struck Courtois then tried to turn his thoughts to Atletico Madrid<\/a><\/abbr> but admitted he was finding it difficult after being greeted at Stamford Bridge by the likes of Petr Cech and Didier Drogba<\/a><\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI managed to have a brief chat with the boss and then Petr and Didier, before they set off for the airport,\u201d said the 19-year old. \u201cI was thrilled to be able to meet two great Chelsea<\/a><\/abbr> players and feel that I was actually part of the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cA year ago, Chelsea<\/a><\/abbr> were my team on PlayStation. Now they are the team I am going to play for. It felt almost unreal to shake hands with Petr and Didier and realise they were now my team-mates.\u201d<\/p>\n
