Chelsea have agreed a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to recruit goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources confirm the news. The World Cup winning shot-stopper is set to complete the switch. Martinez is from Argentina. People refer to him as Dibu Martinez. He is departing Villa Park for Stamford Bridge.
Former Villa manager Steve Bruce described Martinez being desperate to leave as a strange one. The deal puts Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper under pressure. The club is now set to strengthen in goal ahead of the new season.
