Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez admits he still has a soft spot for Arsenal.

The Argentine has become one of the world's best goalkeepers since swapping Arsenal for Aston Villa.

And after spending 10 years at the Emirates, Martinez believes the club didn't deserve him.

"I love everything about Arsenal. I still love them and I'm still watching the games, but I just felt like they didn't trust me like they should have," Martinez told Sky Sports.

"When I was on a high, I still felt like they didn't deserve me because of the way they were treating me.

"They couldn't guarantee me the games I needed so I thought that if they couldn't guarantee me the games I needed, then I'm moving on.

"They didn't say to me that I wasn't going to play, they just didn't guarantee me the games that I wanted to play.

"So, after 10 years, I decided to leave, and it was very difficult. My family didn't understand why I was leaving when I was at such a good level at Arsenal, but it was my decision to leave and I'm really proud I did it.

"It was a gamble, but I always believe that if you stay in the comfort zone, you will never reach anything in life. I decided to take the step up."
