They uncover the virtue of Dibu Martínez who convinced Arsenal to sign him so young

Emiliano "Dibu" Martinez is one of the most famous and controversial goalkeepers in the world, at least he has earned that fame from two years onwards, when he appeared on the scene with Argentina in the Copa America and now, in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

However, it was not always so easy for Emiliano Martinez, it all started when he was 16 years old in the Argentine league team, Independiente de Avellaneda. At that time, the Argentine had to travel to England to prove himself.

Budna at that time was a scout for Arsenal, and traveled to Argentina after watching Dibu in the South American that was played weeks ago. The objective was to test the young goalkeeper in person in England, who, if he was convinced by Arsene Wenger's coaching staff, would stay in that place. But prior to this, what motivated interest in Martínez was an attribute that they saw from a young age.

The detail that convinced Arsenal to take Dibu to the Premier League

The attribute that most surprised and liked Martínez was the personality and mental strength that he showed from such a young age. For his part, Budna added that the legendary Wegner was impressed with him, and that he really liked his leg power when it came to reacting from the ground, ending with the fact that the winning mentality was seen live in the London test, which is why they ended up buying it.
