Chelsea have struck a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to sign goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources confirm the news. The World Cup winning keeper is poised to complete the switch. Martinez comes 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 agreement places Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper on notice. The club is now aiming to strengthen between the posts before the new season.
