Arsenal Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is having a medical at Aston Villa before completing a £20m move.
Martinez is on the verge of signing for Villa after Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta decided Bernd Leno would be his first choice this term.
He was left out in the Arsenal squad in their opening league game against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
