Emiliano Martinez insists he is ready to challenge the likes of Esteban Andrada and Franco Armani for the No. 1 spot at the Argentina national team.
"I fought against the great goalkeepers of the world throughout my career. I'm ready to fight with anyone," he told Sportia via Mundo Albiceleste.
"Those from the Argentina national team are great goalkeepers but I don't feel greater nor less [great] than anyone of them."
Earlier, we discussed Martinez's chances to become a first-choice keeper for Argentina.
While it was an unlucky injury sustained by Bernd Leno which put Emiliano on the pedestal, he deserves the plaudits coming his way with his composed displays for Arsenal.
The 27-year-old has taken his chance with both hands, becoming the first Arsenal goalie to keep three successive clean sheets since November 2017.
Emiliano's commanding presence in the penalty area and brilliant communication skills have been praised by fans and media.
The ex-Independiente men never complained about his status as a second-choice option but Bernd Leno will now have to push himself to the limit to get his spot back.
