5 signings that will light up the La Liga this season

#3 Thibaut Courtois

Girona FC v Real Madrid CF - La Liga — Courtois is one of the best goalkeepers in the world at the moment

After several months of speculations regarding his future, former Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois finally parted ways with The Blues and completed his dream move from the Premier League to join La Liga outfit, Real Madrid this summer.

The 26-year-old was a long-term target of Los Blancos who were desperate to sign a replacement for the inconsistent Keylor Navas. And fortunately, the guardian was also keen to move to the Spanish capital and that served as a catalyst in the deal.

Courtois is one of the finest goalkeepers in the world at the moment, considering his spectacular performances in World Cup recently. After claiming the prestigious Golden Glove for his brilliant displays in the tournament, the Belgian will be keen to establish himself in the Spanish top flight this season.
