According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham Hotspur are not pursuing Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. The report also states that this is because Roberto De Zerbi is happy with Antonín Kinský and Martin Dúbravka.

Tottenham has already contacted Emiliano Martinez’s representatives about a potential transfer, which means Chelsea could face Premier League competition if they choose to make their interest official.

Intermediaries have offered Tottenham Hotspur the chance to sign Emiliano Martinez, with Aston Villa seeking to transfer the 33-year-old this summer. TEAMtalk reports that Villa are not demanding a large fee for Martinez, with the price being less than £10 million. Martinez informed the club before the summer’s World Cup finals that he wanted to leave Villa Park. Intermediaries are now seeking a new club for him and Tottenham have been approached about Martinez’s availability, as they had been expected to consider changes to their first-choice goalkeeper this summer.

Former Aston Villa chief executive Keith Wyness expects the Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to leave Villa Park before the transfer window closes. Wyness said he expects a deal and a price to be agreed for Martinez to go, and anticipates that this will be done in the next couple of weeks, possibly as a last-day signing. He added that Martinez will not be happy being a number two and thinks his time at Villa is definitely over. According to Wyness, Villa have handled the situation correctly by signing a young number one first, which gives them flexibility in the negotiations for Martinez. Reuters reported that uncertainty surrounding Martinez’s future was a factor behind Villa's signing of Suzuki.
