Chelsea have reportedly opened discussions over a possible move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez as they continue searching for greater stability between the posts.
Martínez has established himself as one of the most recognisable goalkeepers in world football. His experience, confidence and ability to perform under pressure make him an attractive target.
Chelsea believe his experience could provide important leadership to their defensive unit.
A move would represent another major transfer involving a high-profile Premier League goalkeeper.
Villa, however, would have to consider whether losing Martínez makes sense, particularly given his importance to the team.
Chelsea could therefore face difficult negotiations if they want to complete the transfer.
The goalkeeper’s personality and experience would also bring a different dynamic to Chelsea’s dressing room.
With the transfer window approaching its conclusion, the situation could develop quickly.
