World Cup winner sends Aston Villa transfer message to star after Celtic move fuelled by thirst for trophies
A World Cup winner has been in on the congratulations messages after a switch from Aston Villa to Celtic for one ace.
Emiliano Martinez has lead on the messages to Viljami Sinisalo after the keeper’s move to Celtic.
The Finnish shot-stopper has swapped Aston Villa for the Premiership champions, as he looks set to play deputy to Kasper Schmeichel, with the veteran poised to sign and become number one this campaign. Sinisalo has signed a long-term deal with a chance to learn the ropes at Celtic before possibly becoming number one himself.
World Cup winner with Argentina and current Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez sent a four-word message that read “All the best brother.” Burnley’s Aaron Ramsey spent time with Sinisalo at Villa and said “Good luck bro.” Sheffield United’s Cameron Archer said “Good luck jami” as the keeper expressed his thanks to the Premier League side, and a Celtic trophy desire over two posts.
He said: Great to be here! Thank you for such a warm welcome. Can’t wait to get going, see you all very soon! My time at Aston Villa has come to an end.
“I came here as a 16 year old boy and will always be grateful for the opportunity that I was given. I have watched an amazing football club develop even further and look forward to watching their success from afar now.
“A club is only as good as the people within it and Aston Villa is full of incredible people who have all helped me on my journey and I want to thank them all.
“I take huge step on my journey now to a massive football club with incredible support and history. I want to follow in the footsteps of the incredible goalkeepers they have had and play my part in helping them win as many trophies as possible!”
