Martinez backing more Argies for Aston Villa

Premier League giants Aston Villa could be set to sign many Argentinian players.

Their shot stopper Emi Martinez has hinted at countrymen joining him in the Midlands next season.

Villa are in outstanding form since the arrival of manager Unai Emery to replace Steven Gerrard earlier this season.

“It's massive, the club. I'm proud to play for Aston Villa, I'm really proud," Martinez told Arsenal legend Ian Wright, in an interview for the Premier League.

“I love it here, I'm trying to bring my Argentinian friends to Villa! I just feel at home.

“It's the best league in the world. I want to finish the season with Villa, try to qualify for Europe. I love the club, they made me the goalie I am today."
