Chelsea have struck 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 know him as Dibu Martinez. He is departing Villa Park for Stamford Bridge.
Former Villa manager Steve Bruce called Martinez being desperate to leave as a strange one. The deal places Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper under pressure. The club is now set to strengthen between the posts ahead of the new season.
