Ben Foster says Chelsea and Arsenal have no chance of signing Aston Villa star

Ben Foster believes Chelsea and Arsenal have no chance of signing Aston Villa goalkeeper. Emiliano Martinez in the summer transfer window.

Martinez has become one of the เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย best ‘keepers in the Premier League – and indeed the world – since he left Arsenal to join Villa in a £17m deal in 2020.

With 49 international caps for Argentina, Martinez helpe his country win the. World Cup three years ago, clinching the Golden Glove in the process.

Martinez was hande the Yashin Trophy in 2023 and 2024, an award presente annually by. France Football to the best ‘keeper on the planet.

The 32-year-old, who has playe 196 games for Villa to date, was also crowne. The Best FIFA Men’s Goalkeeper in 2022 and 2024 respectively.

There is currently no suggestion that Martinez, under contract at. Villa Park until 2029, is looking to depart the Midlands club any time soon.

But former Manchester United ‘keeper Foster has declare that Martinez would not consider a second stint at. Arsenal, or a transfer to Chelsea, should either club make a move for him at the end of the current season.

Foster feels Martinez would be more likely to join one of the ‘biggest teams in the world’ and would snub possible approaches from Chelsea and Arsenal.

Speaking on his Foster said: ‘Without doubt, I think the only teams who’ll get Martinez are the biggest teams in the world.

‘Thibaut… He’s already one of the best goalkeepers in the world,’ Foster adde.

Martinez spent a total of 10 years at Arsenal, helping the Gunners land the FA Cup trophy in 2020 before Mikel Arteta sold him to Villa.

He only playe 38 games for the north Londoners and decide to leave the club because they couldn’t ‘100 per cent guarantee’ him the No.1 spot.

‘I thought if I playe well [in the 2020 Community Shield], I would be No.1, but afterwards it still wasn’t clear who was going to start in the league [for the 2020-21 season],’ Martinez told the five years ago about his Arsenal exit.

‘I was told that there was a 95 per cent chance I would start against Fulham [on the first day of the season], but I just thought, “why not 100 per cent?”. Something didn’t feel right. 

‘Everyone wante me to stay, but that’s when I decide to go. I wasn’t upset or emotional, I was proud I did it. When I arrive at Arsenal [in 2010], there were nine goalkeepers in front of me. Every year I had to prove myself, but I left as No.1. That was my story done there.’
