Chelsea have finalised a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to recruit goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources verify the news. The World Cup winning keeper is poised to make the move. 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 move places Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper under pressure. The club is now aiming to strengthen between the posts before the new season.
