Emiliano Martinez

Location: London, United Kingdom


He has stated that he doesn't like people to know how and where he lives. But we do know that he loves table tennis and he often plays it at his London home.

Emiliano Martinez is a professional football player from Mar del Plata, Argentina. He is currently playing for the English Premier League team Arsenal, he had been contracted by Arsenal at a very young age but he is yet to really have his breakthrough for the first team. He has been on loan for several years in succession but none of those loan-periods has proved to be very succesful. His most succesful season thus far has been the 2014-2015 season in which he played 6 games for the first team of Arsenal. Because of the injuries of Szczęsny and David Ospina, Martínez was made starting keeper against Borussia Dortmund on 26 November 2014 at the Emirates, keeping a clean sheet as Arsenal won 2–0. This "faultless performance" even ensured that he was part of the UEFA team of the week. Quite remarkable. Unfortunately for the Argentinian he has not been able to carry that momentum forward and make it result in more playing time. In the summer of 2020 he went to Aston Villa. One of the main weapons of his game is the Long Throw, he has regularly been known to throw the ball over the half-way line from his own penalty area. On several occasions he has launched very dangerous counter-attacks this way, making him a part of the offense along the way.
