The former Arsenal keeper Martinez was a huge success for the Gunners towards the backend of the 2019/20 English football season when he step in for the injured Bernd Leno and eventually putting in stellar performances to help Mikel Arteta's side in lifting the FA Cup.
Starved for game time prior to that, the opportunity to play week in week out made Martinez hungry for more and with his stock at an all-time high, decided to leave Arsenal for Aston Villa. A scenario that isn't unlike what young Azri Ghani is experiencing by making the move from Kedah to Perak for the 2021 M-League season.
