Thibaut Courtois Is Earning A Fortune Per Save, This Season

Thibaut Courtois Is Earning A Fortune Per Save, This Season

Nice work if you can get it

Thibaut Courtois' relative lack of work in the Chelsea goal this season is earning him a fortune per every save he's had to make.

Chelsea have won their last six successive Premier League games, keeping six clean sheets in the process as Antonio Conte's methods begin to work their magic on the Blues' defence.

The Belgian stopper, who earns £120,000 per week, has faced just 17 shots, this term and has only been required to make two saves in his last three games. Ironically, his busiest match during Chelsea's winning streak came in the 4-0 mauling of Manchester United, where the former Atleti man made five stops.

Courtois' easy shifts are believed to work out at being comparable to £98,823 per save, with the Chelsea number one the joint least busy 'keeper in the English top flight, alongside Southampton's Fraser Forster.

Nice work if you can get it.
