What happened. Chelsea are considering a late move for Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez, whose representatives have offered him to the club.

• Martinez needs a new club after Villa signed Zion Suzuki for nearly £30m.
• Robert Sanchez faced criticism for errors in Monday's win at Fulham.
• Juventus wanted Martinez but chose Guglielmo Vicario instead.

A move could hinge on Chelsea's pursuit of a new No 1 before the transfer deadline.
