Emiliano Martinez, Argentina's 2022 World Cup-winning goalkeeper, joined Chelsea from fellow Premier League club Aston Villa, the London club announced Sunday.
The 33-year-old signed a three-year contract with Chelsea for a reported 7.5 million pounds ($10 million), according to British media.
"I'm all passion and I play with my heart. I will give 100 percent every game, every training session to make the club, my teammates and the supporters proud," Martinez said in a statement on Chelsea's website.
Martinez returns to London, where he began his professional career with Arsenal but never became a first-team regular.
After a series of loan spells away from Arsenal, Martinez joined Villa in 2020 and made more than 250 appearances. He was a key player in Unai Emery's Europa League-winning squad last season.
