Emiliano Martinez wants assurances over his place in the Arsenal team (Picture: Getty Images)Emiliano Martinez has turned down the latest contract offer from Arsenal, with Aston Villa making a bid for him and reportedly willing to pay him more than the Gunners. AdvertisementVilla are keen to sign him and have made a bid of around £15m, which Arsenal are considering after Martinez has rejected their latest contract offer. The Gunners want to keep him at the club, but cannot necessarily guarantee him the first team football that he is looking for and their contract offer reflects that. Goal report that Villa are willing to offer him a more substantial contract and guarantee him a place in the first team at the same time. As such, it seems that a move to Villa Park is looking more and more likely for Martinez as the new season draws near.
