"HE’S STAYING": PETER SCHMEICHEL DISMISSES EMI MARTINEZ TO INTER MILAN TRANSFER TALK
Emiliano Martinez is linked with Inter Milan. Discover why Peter Schmeichel says he should stay and the latest injury news.
Here’s the latest on Emiliano Martinez and those Inter Milan rumours, with Peter Schmeichel throwing in his two cents.
Despite all the talk about a possible move, Martinez looks set to stick with Aston Villa this January. He’s been linked to just about every big club in Europe for a while now, and this time, the buzz is around Inter Milan—the Champions League runners-up from last season.
Inter is trying to sort out a replacement for Yann Sommer, whose contract runs out in June. Reports say Inter have started some early conversations with both Villa and Martinez’s camp about a transfer. Martinez still has three and a half years left on his Villa contract, though, so any move will need to make sense for the club—and probably come with a hefty fee.
Adding fuel to the rumours, Martinez didn’t travel with Villa for their Europa League match against Fenerbahce. People are wondering if he’s got his mind on a move, or if it’s just down to an injury. He’s been dealing with back and calf issues lately, so it could go either way. Still, his absence has everybody talking.
Now, Peter Schmeichel—who knows a thing or two about goalkeeping—is keeping a close eye on all this. In an interview with Birmingham World, Schmeichel basically said there’s no good reason for Martinez to leave right now, even if Inter comes calling.
Schmeichel pointed out that joining Manchester United would’ve made sense if the chance had come up in the summer. But that ship has sailed, and Villa have too much going for them to walk away now. Schmeichel put it plainly: “Emiliano Martínez will stay at Aston Villa. Why would he move? He’s at a top-four club with a fantastic manager.”
He went on about how he’s always rated Villa, calling them one of the best-run clubs in England. Their midfield costs next to nothing and might be one of the strongest in the league. Smart business, as he sees it.
“They’re in a good place,” he said. And as for Martinez, Schmeichel doesn’t see him leaving. “If you get the chance to join Manchester United and you want it, you do what you can to make it happen. But that didn’t happen, and it’s not an option anymore. I just can’t see any reason for him to leave Aston Villa. I don’t think he’s going anywhere.”
CONOR GALLAGHER CONFIRMED AS "VITAL" STARTER FOR SPURS FOLLOWING BENTANCUR’S INJURY LAYOFF
Conor Gallagher proved the doubters wrong against Man City. Discover why his €40m move to Tottenham is finally paying off for Spurs.

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid both decided Conor Gallagher wasn’t worth the trouble. At Chelsea, he had his moments—Pochettino liked him, but the fans never really warmed up. When Chelsea shipped him off to Atletico, it made sense. Enzo Fernandez stepped up, took over Gallagher’s role, and fit in perfectly next to Caicedo, with Cole Palmer adding that extra spark up front.
Things didn’t get much better for Gallagher in Spain. He barely got a chance at Atleti, lost his spot in the starting eleven, and pretty much ended up on the transfer list before anyone had time to blink. Interest was lukewarm at best until the winter window rolled around. Aston Villa wanted him and went after him pretty aggressively, but then Tottenham swooped in late. Spurs needed someone to patch up the midfield after Bentancur’s injury, so they just paid up—40 million euros, no hesitation.
His start at Tottenham? Rough. Honestly, that was to be expected. He’d played well at Palace before, but after his struggles at Atleti, he needed time to adjust. Sitting on the bench in Spain didn’t do him any favours.
Then Gallagher showed up. People doubted whether he could really add creativity and move the ball forward for Spurs, so his early struggles got people worried. But then came the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He suddenly looked like the player both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank were so desperate to sign.
Against City, Gallagher flipped the script. He set up a crucial assist, drove play forward on the dribble, and kept drawing fouls—everything the Spurs needed. Defensively, he was all over the place in a good way: two tackles, three interceptions, a full 90 minutes, and a huge part of the Spurs clawing their way back into the game.
Tottenham fans loved it. They saw the effort, the attitude, and the hunger to win. Gallagher just wouldn’t quit, and in that second half, he, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Dominic Solanke ran the show. Four of those guys have been carrying Spurs lately, so Gallagher is fitting right in with them. That’s a pretty good sign he’s going to work out just fine in North London.
