Thibaut Courtois has completed his move to Real Madrid from Chelsea. The Belgium international, named best goalkeeper at the World Cup this summer, has signed a six-year deal after completing a medical yesterday.

A video on Real Madrid's official Twitter feed showed Courtois signing his contract alongside club president Florentino Perez.
