Emi Martinez is on the verge of a move to Aston Villa.
Arsenal’s goalkeeper missed Saturday’s 3-0 success against Fulham, having been withdrawn from the squad by Mikel Arteta on Friday amid increasing interest from both Villa and Brighton.
At the time, neither club had seen an offer accepted for the 28-year-old, but that changed on Saturday when Villa - who had already had two bids rejected - finally matched Arsenal’s £20 million ($26m) valuation for the Argentine.
