I am very happy. Courtois' situation was clear, he wanted to go to Madrid. But we bought a young goalkeeper, one of the most important... in Europe. I am really happy. And to Kovacic, because he has the characteristics for us. The squad is complete.
Sarri: 'He is very young, 23. I hope he can improve very fast but for the moment he is not Courtois, of course. Kovacic is very technical and [can] play between the lines of the opponent. For us, that could be very important.'
Sarri on Courtois exit: 'There were some personal reasons. I don't know really. Hazard is with us. I have spoken with him three or four times for everything, and he never said something about the market. So I think he is very happy to stay here.'
Sarri on potential loans to leave: 'Now I think the squad is too large. Some players have to go on loan. I don't know who at the moment. I prefer to have 23, 24 players and three or four very young players. No more.'
Sarri says Tiemoue Bakayoko could leave on loan but he doesn't know yet.
Sarri on the captaincy: 'For tomorrow I think Azpilicueta, but it's not the final decision. I want to know well the players, I want to know well the men, and when my idea [is] clear I will make a decision.'
Sarri says he is undecided yet on whether Kepa will start tomorrow.
