Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
The contract extension will see Martinez, 31, extend his stay with Unai Emeryโs side until 2029.
Following a string of loan deals, Martinez joined Villa on a permanent contract from Arsenal in September 2020, eight years after he made his debut for the Gunners.
