With Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez being linked with a departure from the club this summer, the Argentine media brings some updates on that scenario today.

The story comes from TyC Sports journalist Gaston Edul, who confirms that the 30-year-old should switch clubs at the end of the season.

It’s claimed that the ‘idea’ is for him to leave leave Aston Villa, and it’s actually Tottenham Hotspur who seem to lead the race.

Gaston Edul writes that Spurs is the club ‘with more interest’ than the other Premier League sides, with Chelsea and Manchester United also credited with interest.

The report claims it’s ‘very likely’ that Martinez will take a ‘step further’ in the next transfer window. The Argentine media has, for a long time, been wondering why the goalkeeper is playing for a club which doesn’t fight for big titles, and those thoughts have only increased since he won the World Cup with the national team in December.

The story doesn’t say how much Aston Villa will demand or Tottenham would offer for the transfer, as it’s just pointed out that the player has no release clause in his contract with Unai Emery’s side.
