Chelsea in talks with Martínez after being offered goalkeeper

Chelsea are in talks with Emiliano Martínez's representatives after being offered the goalkeeper, following errors by Robert Sánchez.

Chelsea have been offered goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez and are considering making a bid for the World Cup winner. Martínez has told Aston Villa he wants to leave, though a move to Juventus collapsed last week after Villa signed his replacement. saltysenoritaaz.com

The goalkeeper position has been problematic for Chelsea, with Robert Sánchez prone to mistakes. Xabi Alonso recently selected Sánchez for Monday's win against Fulham, but his errors led to goals. Mike Penders, 21, is being lined up as first-choice keeper.
