When Emi Martinez was extensively linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, BBC analyst Rob Green said that Unai Emery and Aston Villa may have fallen out

Because Emi Martinez’s name was often mentioned in connection with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, BBC commentator Rob Green speculated that relations between Unai Emery and the Aston Villa manager had soured.

The Spanish manager openly said that he did not like the £20 million man coming up to score the game-tying goal against Arsenal, which was finally scored by Gabriel Martinelli putting the ball into an empty net. The World Cup champion has stated his belief that playing in the Champions League is the next logical step in his professional career.

With the Villa No. 1 being discussed as a possible replacement for Hugo Lloris at Spurs, BBC commentator Rob Green has stated that Emi Martinez and Unai Emery may not have the finest connection.

Whether or not it is accurate is a mystery, but many people believe the Argentine deserves to play for one of the “Big Six” clubs following his “great” performance at the World Cup.

Leaving that conversation aside for the moment, pundit Rob Green has explained his theory involving Tottenham target Emi Martinez and Unai Emery to BBC’s Monday Night Club, saying, “It’s interesting, isn’t it? You do feel that there will be, well there already has been a clash. I think the way that it’s going, there is a clash of characters there.”

“Unai Emery clearly is very calculated, very principled and I do feel that if the opportunity arises, that he’s got a belief in himself that is massive and huge and a character to go with it. I tell you what Unai Emery might say, ‘for what you bring on the pitch, we might be better off for all parties for that to happen [selling him].” Most Spurs fans want Emi Martinez to join the club next season, so they can only hope that tensions have cooled between him and Unai Emery.
