Summary
- Aston Villa monitoring Royal Antwerp's Senne Lammens as possible replacement for Emi Martinez
- Lammens, 23, also on radar of Manchester United and Galatasaray
- Villa could offer Lammens starting role if Martinez leaves for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr
As of August 30th, 2025, Aston Villa is actively exploring the possibility of signing Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens as a potential replacement for their current first-choice shot-stopper, Emi Martinez. According to reports, Martinez has emerged as a target for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, and Villa manager Unai Emery is keeping a close eye on the situation.
The 23-year-old Lammens has been making a name for himself in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League and has also caught the attention of other top clubs, including Manchester United and Galatasaray. However, Villa's interest in the highly-rated Belgian goalkeeper could give them an advantage, as they are prepared to offer him a guaranteed starting role in their lineup should Martinez depart.
This potential move comes as Villa seeks to strengthen their goalkeeping options, with the future of Martinez still uncertain. Lammens, who has been praised for his shot-stopping abilities and commanding presence in the box, could be an ideal fit to replace the Argentine if he decides to leave the Midlands club.
