Chelsea agree £7.5m deal to sign Emiliano Martínez from Aston Villa

• Goalkeeper’s arrival may lead to Robert Sánchez’s exit

• Chelsea expect Manchester City bid for Enzo Fernández

Chelsea have agreed a £7.5m deal to sign the Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and are expecting Manchester City to make an offer for Enzo Fernández in the next 48 hours.

Xabi Alonso identified the signing of a goalkeeper as a priority after Robert Sánchez struggled against Fulham last Monday and the deal for Martínez has gone through quickly. The Argentina international is out of favour at Villa after their acquisition of Zion Suzuki and is due to sign a two-year contract with the option of a further year.
