Chelsea have completed a surprise move with the signing of Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
The 33-year-old, who has been linked to leaving Villa for the last two summers, has finally got his wish as he has moved for £7.5million, signing a three-year contract with Chelsea.
It comes after criticism of Chelsea's current number one Robert Sanchez.
Martinez, who won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina and twice secured the Yashin Trophy for the best goalkeeper, is set to displace Sanchez.
"I'm delighted to be at this football club," Martinez told the club's official website. "Coming to Chelsea, for me and my family, was an easy decision to make and I'm just over the moon – I can't wait to get started.
