Chelsea have finalised 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 call him Dibu Martinez. He is leaving 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 bolster in goal ahead of the new season.
