‘It’s Sad That He Is Leaving’ ‘Aouar Time Now’ Arsenal Fans React To Romano’s Latest Transfer Update

Arsenal goalkeeper Emi Martinez has “completed” his move to Aston Villa, according to the Guardian‘s Fabrizio Romano. At the time of writing, no official announcement has been made but the Argentinian international looks certain to leave the Emirates very shortly:

After starring for the Gunners as the London club won the FA Cup last season, supporters on Twitter are sad to see the 28-year-old go, but they are hoping that the £20m will be put to good use in the transfer market:

With Martinez not willing to play second fiddle to Bernd Leno, it was almost inevitable that the Argentine would leave due to his desire to play regularly. He has certainly earned the right considering he was Arsenal’s longest-serving player.

Whether the £20m from his sale will be spent on trying to sign Lyon’s Houssem Aouar or even Atletico Madrid’s Thomas Partey before the transfer window shuts, we shall have to wait and see.
