Aston Villa is pleased to announce that Emiliano Martínez has signed a contract extension until 2027.

Martínez has been first-choice goalkeeper since joining the club from Arsenal ahead of the 2020/21 season.

In his maiden campaign at Villa Park, Martínez excelled between the posts and was part of a defensive unit that equalled the club’s Premier League record of 15 clean sheets in a season.

He would go on to star for his native Argentina as they won the Copa América in the summer of 2021.
