Restes to replace Martinez?
Martinez has been consistently linked with a move away from the club, and he was very close to leaving Aston Villa last summer as well.
He has been a quality player for Aston Villa over the years, and replacing him will be a top priority for the club. They have secured Champions League qualification for the upcoming campaign, and they need quality players in order to do well in the league and in Europe.
There is no doubt that they will be an attractive destination for talented young players, and it is no surprise that the 21-year-old goalkeeper has already agreed personal terms with them.
Aston Villa have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they can wrap up the agreement quickly.
Restes kept clean sheets last season, and the French under-21 international will only improve with coaching and experience. He would be a long-term asset for the club.
