The 23-year-old may have only made a handful of appearances for the club this term, but he has looked strong in his fledgling appearances and has three stats under his belt that look to make him a better option than Szczesny.
Martinez averages more catches, punches and saves per match than Szczesny and though it’s still early doors, he’s showing all the signs of becoming a very valuable asset to the club.
However, with Szczesny set to return to action this weekend, Arsene Wenger would do well to reconsider his options.
