Aston Villa have made an initial approach to sign Icelandic goalkeeper Hákon Valdimarsson from Swedish club Elfsborg, as the 22-year-old has been lined up as a backup keeper for current number 1 shot stopper Emi Martinez. Valdimarsson has caught the eye in the Allsvenskan since moving to Elfsborg in 2021, and scouts have been monitoring the progress of the keeper who has five caps to his name.
Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez is the club's preferred replacement for outgoing shot stopper Hugo Lloris, with the Argentinian World Cup winner ready to move to White Hart Lane in a deal worth a reported £30 million. Martinez has three years remaining on his Villa deal.
The impressive form of FA Cup winning goalkeeper Emi Martinez has captured the attentions of the Aston Villa scouting team, who have reportedly made their second transfer bid for Arsenal's goalkeeper. Ahead of the new season, it still remains unclear who will be the Gunners' number 1, with Bernd Leno set for a return after a lengthy lay off.
Speaking in the aftermath of Arsenal's FA Community Shield victory against Chelsea on Sunday, Arsene Wenger revealed that more players will be on their way out of The Emirates in the near future.
