Chelsea agrees £7.5m deal for Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez

Chelsea has agreed to a £7.5m transfer deal for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez. The 33-year-old Argentina international is set to undergo a medical in London, addressing concerns over current No. 1 Robert Sanchez's performances. Martinez became surplus to requirements at Villa after the arrival of Zion Suzuki from Parma. The deal is part of a series of transfers between the two clubs, which have a history of dealings, including Chelsea's recent signing of Morgan Rogers. Martinez was previously a target for Juventus, but that move fell through.
