Aguero transfer could impact Arsenal goalkeeper Martinez as both men plan Independiente moves

Sergio Ageuro’s future could directly impact that of Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, with the Argentine shot-stopper admitting that he would follow a fellow countryman back to Independiente.

The prolific striker, currently turning out for Manchester City, has admitted that he intends to return to his roots at some stage. With Aguero approaching his 32nd birthday, such a switch could happen sooner rather than later.

Whenever the decision is taken to head home, Martinez says he will seek to tread a similar path.
