Chelsea have struck a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to recruit goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources confirm the news. The World Cup winning keeper is ready to make the move. Martinez is from Argentina. People know him as Dibu Martinez. He is departing Villa Park for Stamford Bridge.
Former Villa manager Steve Bruce termed Martinez being desperate to leave as a strange one. The deal places Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper under pressure. The club is now looking to bolster between the posts before the new season.
