Chelsea have struck a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to sign goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources verify the news. The World Cup winning keeper is set to complete the switch. Martinez comes from Argentina. People call him 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 puts Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper on notice. The club is now set to strengthen in goal ahead of the new season.
