Chelsea have finalised a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to sign goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources confirm the news. The World Cup winning goalie is ready to complete the switch. Martinez comes from Argentina. People refer to 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 puts Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper under pressure. The club is now looking to strengthen between the posts ahead of the new season.
