John Terry says Chelsea have made the ‘signing of the summer’

The new faces are already making a big impact. Rogers looks completely at home in the attack, opening his Chelsea account against Fulham in the Premier League opener.

Valentin Barco impressed tonight, but do Chelsea still need a new midfielder this summer? And if so, who?

Enzo Fernandez reportedly asked to be left out tonight…

At the back, Lacroix has settled in effortlessly, keeping a clean sheet at Craven Cottage.

Barco had to wait for his chance, but he made Blues fans totally forget about Enzo Fernandez with his performance in the Carabao Cup against Luton Town.

John Terry hails the signing of Emi Martinez from Aston Villa

Chelsea have agreed a bargain £7.5 million deal to sign goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa on a two-year contract.

The World Cup winner brings experience to Stamford Bridge, providing competition for Robert Sanchez and Mike Penders after falling out of favor at Villa following Zion Suzuki’s arrival.

And it’s safe to say that John Terry is buzzing about the signing, as he shared his thoughts on his personal YouTube channel.

He said: “Emi Martinez is the signing of the summer. If there was any goalkeeper available to sign it would’ve been him. We signed him at Villa from Arsenal and he was unbelievable. He had a big influence on the group, he wants to win day in day out, he hates conceding. Trust me, everything about this guy is top top top.”

Emi Martinez is the missing ingredient for Chelsea

For seasons now, Chelsea’s goalkeeping position has felt like a massive point of anxiety, but Emi Martínez changes the entire vibe back there. He isn’t just another body between the posts, he brings that big-stage authority that’s been missing since the Thibaut Courtois days.

You can feel the calm he projects, he commands his 18-yard box, barks out orders, and takes total charge.

Plus, he knows how to win, having won the World Cup, as well as having a South American connection with players like Valentin Barco.
