Emi Martinez to make stunning Arsenal return? Gunners consider reunion with Argentine World Cup winner amid uncertainty over David Raya's future

Martinez appeared to wave goodbye to the Aston Villa fans after last week's 2-0 win over Tottenham, prompting rumours that he will be leaving for a Saudi Pro League club this summer. However, the Sunreports that Arsenal could be his destination.

Martinez left Arsenal for Villa in 2020, developing a reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the world at Villa Park. He was Argentina's hero as they won the 2022 World Cup.

The report states that Arsenal's interest stems from uncertainty over the future of Raya, who has been earmarked as Real Madrid's long-term successor to Thibaut Courtois. The goalkeeper is also being eyed up by Atletico Madrid, who fear Jan Oblak could leave for the riches of Saudi Arabia this summer.

Martinez could feature for Villa for the last time on Sunday as they bid to secure a top-five finish at Manchester United.
