Chelsea in Talks with Martínez After Offer

Experienced goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez has told Aston Villa he wants to leave, with Chelsea now considering making an offer for the shot-stopper. A potential move to Juventus collapsed last week after Villa signed replacement goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma for £30m. cricket-ipl.in

Goalkeeper has been a problematic position for Chelsea in recent seasons, with Robert Sánchez mainly the No 1 but prone to mistakes. New manager Xabi Alonso selected Sánchez for Monday's win against Fulham, but two errors led to goals, prompting the club to explore alternatives like Martínez and 21-year-old Mike Penders, who is being lined up as a potential first-choice keeper.
