Former Aston Villa striker Alan McInally says former Arsenal goalkeeper Emi Martinez is a bargain.

Dean Smith's men have let in the equal-lowest total of Premier League goals since Martinez's £20milion summer arrival - nine in seven games, peaking with last Sunday's 3-0 win at the Emirates.

And pundit McInally told Footy Accumulators' One to Watch: "I cannot believe we have horse-shoed him out of London.

"He's a really good goalkeeper. I think you've already seen, even defensively Villa looking much better.

"What Aston Villa haven't had for a long time is a top goalkeeper... I think Martinez is.

"With a bit of luck, I think he's going to prove we have basically stolen him for £20million from Arsenal.

"It's a wonderful move for Aston Villa and even better for Martinez, and hopefully the marriage will be absolutely fantastic."
