Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has opened up on the real reason behind his decision to join Chelsea this summer. The 34-year-old shot-stopper completed a £7.5 million transfer from Aston Villa and has gone straight into the Blues’ line-up.
Although Chelsea were on the lookout for a goalkeeper, Xabi Alonso claimed before the start of the season that he is satisfied with Robert Sanchez and Mike Penders as his two main options. However, Sanchez’s error-strewn display in the opening game against Fulham forced the club into snapping Martinez up, which subsequently led to Sanchez leaving on loan to Como.
