Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas says Genk goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is undergoing a medical ahead of a move to Stamford Bridge

The two clubs came to an agreement over the transfer of the 19-year-old on Sunday. The fee has not been disclosed but is reported to be about 8 million pounds ($12.9 million).

After arriving in Malaysia for the start of Chelsea’s preseason tour, Villas-Boas said Courtois would not be joining the squad in Asia.
