Unai Emery will hold talks with Emiliano Martinez after the goalkeeper’s controversial celebrating of Argentina’s World Cup win.
Martinez made an obscene gesture after being awarded the Golden Glove for the tournament’s best keeper, and has continued to bait France star Kylian Mbappe in the days that followed.
French FA president Noel Le Graet has made a formal complaint to his Argentina counterpart, Claudio Tapia, regarding the Argentine players’ ‘abnormal’ behaviour since the Final, and Aston Villa boss Unai Emery will sit down with the Martinez when he returns to the club on December 29, urging him to ‘control’ his ‘emotions’
Emery said: ‘I want to speak with him when he will come here next week but I am thinking more about his performance and his win, than his celebration.
