They could get him’ – Chelsea tipp to sign Premier League star in stunning move

Chelsea have tippe to sign Premier League goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez if Aston Villa fail to qualify for the Champions League.

Unai Emery’s side finished fourth in the last season to qualify for the Champions League for the first time.

Villa enjoy a dream start to their Champions League campaign, winning their opening three games and beating Bayern Munich at a raucous Villa Park.

The Midlands club also made a strong ufabet https://ufabet999.app start to the Premier League season but results have started to fall away both domestically and in Europe.

Aston Villa are currently sixth in the Premier League, three points outside the top-four places, and sit fifth in the revamped Champions League ahead of their final two group games.

Ex-England striker Darren Bent believes star goalkeeper Martinez may consider leaving Villa if they do not secure a return to the Champions League next season and has named Chelsea as a potential landing spot for the Argentine World Cup winner.

Chelsea are playing in the Europa Conference League this year but look set for a return to Europe’s top table, currently second in the Premier League as they look to mount a surprising title challenge.

While the Blues are thriving under Enzo Maresca, it has been repeatedly suggested Chelsea need to upgrade current No. 1 Robert Sanchez to go to the next level.

‘I wonder if Aston Villa don’t get back in the Champions League,’ former striker Bent told ‘I know he signed a new contract, but could he go?

‘The fact is he could play for almost any team he wanted to. Chelsea could get him.’

Aston Villa sign Martinez from Arsenal in 2020 and the 32-year-old has gone on to establish himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Premier League icon Jussi Jaaskelainen, Mikel Arteta sold ‘one of the best players in the when he allow Martinez to leave Arsenal.

‘It’s hard for me to name the best goalkeeper in the Premier League so I’m going to have to put it down to two,’ the former Bolton, West Ham and Wigan shot-stopper.

‘First of all, I have to go with Alisson. I’m a big fan of him; he just seems to be a monster in goal.

‘It doesn’t look like he moves quickly, and he doesn’t really look special, to be honest. But the way that big boy moves is unbelievable, and the saves he makes are just as good.
