Chelsea Signs Argentine Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to Three-Year Deal
London, August 30 (QNA) – Chelsea announced on Sunday that it has completed the signing of Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa on a three-year contract.  
The 33-year-old goalkeeper joins the West London club ahead of the transfer deadline, bolstering the squad under manager Xabi Alonso.  
Martinez departs Villa Park after a six-season tenure in the Midlands during which he made 256 appearances and established himself as one of the Premier League’s premier shot-stoppers. His final campaign with Aston Villa was highlighted by a historic UEFA Europa League title victory in May.  
Since making his senior international debut for Argentina in June 2021, Martinez has anchored the Albiceleste defense through a dominant era, earning 67 caps and capturing consecutive Copa America titles in 2021 and 2024, alongside the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. (QNA)
