Former winger Joe Cole wants Chelsea to sign Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez following his excellent FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign with Argentina. The 30-year stop-stopper won the Golden Glove in Qatar after keeping three clean sheets in seven appearances.
He has also been a consistent performer since joining Aston Villa from Arsenal in the summer window of 2020. Emiliano Martinez has played 91 games(in all competitions) for the Birmingham outfit so far, securing 30 clean sheets. His stock has increased significantly after his heroic performances for Argentina in Qatar.
Former Chelsea winger, Joe Cole has urged the Blues to table a bid for Aston Villa midfielder Joe Cole. He told All to Play For podcast: “I watched him, he didn’t have that many shots to face because they were so good in front of him, but you know what he is good at? Crossing, commanding, and you know he’s connected to his back four.”
“In the big moments, he delivered. If I’m Chelsea I am tabling a bid for him now. I think he was outstanding.”
