Chelsea have struck a £7.5 million fee with Aston Villa to recruit goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. Sources verify the news. The World Cup winning goalie is poised to make the move. Martinez is 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 deal puts Chelsea's current £21 million goalkeeper under pressure. The club is now looking to bolster in goal ahead of the new season.
