Aston Villa has said farewell to their goalkeeper Emi Martinez, who has joined Chelsea on a three-year deal. The 33-year-old Argentine, who has been a key player for six successful seasons at Villa Park, will be expected to compete for the number one shirt at Chelsea under manager Xabi Alonso. Martinez's impressive career includes winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina and finishing as runner-up in the 2026 tournament.
He has also claimed two Copa América titles with his national team. Following Robert Sanchez's underwhelming performances, Chelsea made Martinez their latest summer signing to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.
