Emi Martinez emerges as Tottenham target after Arsenal 'stopped him loving football'

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez has emerged as a leading contender to become Tottenham's new goalkeeper, with the World Cup winner having previously revealed the pain of his time with arch-rivals Arsenal.

TyC Sports report that Martinez could be subject to interest from three of the Premier League's biggest clubs this summer, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham all said to be on the hunt for a new goalkeeper. However, it is the links to Spurs which stand out due to his long affiliation to the Gunners.

Martinez, 30, spent eight years at Arsenal, with just 38 appearances in all competitions to show for his time at the club but has now become an established name in world football. This is primarily through his performances with Argentina, with a starring role in a Copa America win before becoming a hero in the World Cup final penalty shootout against France.
