Chelsea could explore a late move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez as the club assesses its goalkeeping options.
Reports suggest Chelsea have concerns surrounding Robert Sánchez following recent mistakes, while Martínez has emerged as a potential target.
Why Martínez is attractive
The Argentine goalkeeper has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most recognisable goalkeepers.
His experience at international level and reputation for performing under pressure make him an appealing option for a club competing for major trophies.
Chelsea facing a goalkeeper decision
Chelsea have invested heavily in their squad this summer, but goalkeeper remains an area capable of generating debate.
A late change between the posts would represent a major decision.
Could Villa sell?
Aston Villa would have to decide whether losing Martínez at this stage of the window makes sense.
The goalkeeper remains an important figure at the club, meaning Chelsea would likely need to make a significant proposal.
Final verdict
This is one of the late-window transfer stories worth watching, although interest does not necessarily mean a deal will be completed.
