  "account": "Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has arrived in London to finalize his £7.5 million move to Chelsea. The 33-year-old Argentine international is set to undergo a medical ahead of signing a two-year deal with the Premier League club. Chelsea is seeking to bolster their goalkeeping options in light of concerns over the performances of first-choice goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. The move comes after Chelsea secured a 3-2 victory over Fulham, where Sanchez made two costly errors. Martinez is expected to provide competition and experience for Chelsea's goalkeeping department alongside Mike Penders, who joined from Genk for £17 million. Villa has accepted Martinez's departure following their signing of Japan international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki. His move to Chelsea comes as part of a series of deals between the two clubs, including the signing of Morgan Rogers from Villa for a club-record £117 million and the loan of Alejandro Garnacho to Villa. Nicolas Jackson is also close to completing a move to reunite with his former Villarreal manager Unai Emery. Despite interest from Juventus, Martinez opted for Chelsea, avoiding concerns over a finger injury.",
