Chelsea in talks for World Cup keeper Martínez

Chelsea are considering making an offer for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, who has informed the club he wants to leave. The move comes after the Premier League side was offered the shot-stopper, whose potential transfer to Juventus collapsed last week after Villa signed his replacement, Zion Suzuki, from Parma for £30m. sports24.club

Goalkeeper has been a problematic position for Chelsea in recent seasons, with Robert Sánchez prone to mistakes. While 21-year-old Mike Penders is being lined up for the future, Xabi Alonso selected Sánchez for Monday's win against Fulham, where two errors led to goals. Martínez, a World Cup winner with Argentina, could provide immediate top-level experience to address Chelsea's goalkeeping concerns.
