Chelsea have agreed a £7.5m fee with Aston Villa to sign Emiliano Martinez, positioning the Argentina international to join as an experienced Premier League goalkeeper ahead of the transfer deadline. Villa made the 33-year-old available after signing Zion Suzuki from Parma to serve as their new No. 1, with Martinez training separately and seeking a move following an earlier collapsed approach from Juventus. Chelsea’s interest accelerated after Robert Sanchez’s errors in the Premier League opener against Fulham, creating an immediate need for a proven option alongside young prospect Mike Penders. The clubs’ established working relationship has facilitated multiple recent deals, including player swaps, further supporting the swift agreement on a two-year contract with an option for Martinez. A failed medical or last-minute change in Chelsea’s goalkeeping plans remain the only realistic variables that could alter the outcome before the window closes.
