Aston Villa are ready to make another offer for Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.

The Villains are determined to add a top goalkeeper to their squad before the Premier League season begins.

The Daily Mail reports that it would be their third bid for Martinez, and it could come close to the £20 million Arsenal are seeking.

Martinez was excellent for the Gunners last term when Bernd Leno was injured.

But Leno is now fit and the club's no.1, and Martinez wants a move where he can get regular first team football.

Arsenal would not mind loaning the 28-year-old out, but a big fee from Villa could help their own transfer plans.
