What Emiliano Martinez has now told Chelsea as Fabrizio Romano shares Aston Villa transfer latest

Emiliano Martinez continues looking for a way out of Aston Villa ahead of the transfer deadline.

The Argentina international looks to be on his way out of the Villans after Zion Suzuki's arrival at the club.

Unai Emery has faced uncertainty around the 33-year-old's future for over a year and it feels the Spanish manager has finally decided to replace him.

Martinez is now left with the task of finding a suitable exit from Villa Park and Chelsea have emerged as an option.

Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with the World Cup winner after Guglielmo Vicario's move to Juventus.

With the 1 September deadline looming over the goalkeeper's head, he has decided whether he wants the move to Stamford Bridge.

What must happen for Emiliano Martinez exit to Chelsea

Martinez has recently been offered to Chelsea, as another key player at Villa is set to leave.

Robert Sanchez made some glaring errors in the Blues' win over Fulham in their opening Premier League game of the season.

Fans in SW6 have aired frustration and concern about their goalkeeping department, but the Argentine shot-stopper could provide a solution.

According to Fabrizio Romano on 27 August, Martinez has already said yes to Chelsea's project and is eager to complete the move in the coming days.

Tottenham have been dismissed as an option for the ex-Arsenal ace as they are happy with their current goalkeeping options.

Chelsea now have to decide whether they want to sign Villa's Europa League-winning star, and internal talks are ongoing.

Why Aston Villa are at crossroads after summer transfers

Villa could also lose Ollie Watkins in the coming days, with Al Hilal pushing for his signing.

Emery has also lost Morgan Rogers, Youri Tielemans and Ezri Konsa this summer.

There will need to be a massive rebuild at Villa Park and it remains to be seen whether Emery can work things out.

The Lions now face two possibilities: they either continue making progress under the Spanish manager or see their prospects diminish.

After what fans in B6 witnessed against Brighton and Hove Albion, they will be fearing the worst.

While Emery found stability after a poor start last season, he may not have the players needed to do so this time around.
