Emiliano Martínez is expected to leave Aston Villa this summer, with the Argentine goalkeeper linked to a return to Arsenal.
The keeper has looked emotional in his final games for Villa this season amid rumors that Unai Emery will bring in a younger goalkeeping option.
What happened at Aston Villa?
Emiliano Martínez has played 181 times in the Premier League for Aston Villa since joining the club.
His final match ended in disaster, with the keeper sent off for a foul on Rasmus Hojlund, and Villa then lost 2-0 to Manchester United, missing out on Champions League qualification.
Why it matters for Emiliano Martínez
Emiliano Martínez was influential in Argentina's World Cup win in 2022, and he will want to retain his starting spot for the 2026 competition.
The Argentine goalkeeper has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, but a return to Arsenal could be a better option to keep playing at the highest level in Europe.
What comes next for Emiliano Martínez?
According to The Sun, Arsenal want to bring Emiliano Martínez back to the club if they lose David Raya to Spain.
Raya has been one of the best keepers in the Premier League this season, but has been linked with Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid.
Emiliano Martínez was at Arsenal for eight years, but only made 15 Premier League appearances before joining Aston Villa.
The keeper was sent on loan to several clubs, including Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, and Wolverhampton Wanderers, during his time at Arsenal.
