London: Chelsea is eyeing a move for Aston Villa’s goalkeeper Emi Martinez. They’ve been relying on Robert Sanchez this season, but the results have been a bit hit or miss.
Filip Jorgensen, their summer signing, is mainly playing in Europe and cup matches. Meanwhile, Djordje Petrovic, who filled in for Sanchez when he was injured, has been loaned out to Strasbourg.
Even with a few keepers on the roster, Chelsea is still looking to add another one. There’s talk that Martinez might be on the move soon.
After winning the World Cup two years ago, Martinez hinted he wanted a change. He’s been a key player for Villa, helping them reach the Champions League.
But with Villa struggling to keep up with the top four this season, especially with their busy schedule, Martinez might seek a new challenge if they miss out on the Champions League next year.
And guess what? Chelsea could be at the front of the line to snag him.
Darren Bent even mentioned on talkSPORT that if Villa doesn’t make it back to the Champions League, Martinez could be on the move, despite his new contract. He’s got the talent to play for almost any team he wants, and Chelsea could be a great fit.
