Chelsea have finalised a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to sign goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources verify the news. The World Cup winning shot-stopper 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 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 looking to bolster between the posts ahead of the new season.
