Emiliano Martinez has poked fun at Aston Villa teammate Matty Cash, calling him a 'poor man's Jack Grealish'.

In an interview with the Cycling GK YouTube channel, Martinez and Watford's Ben Foster were looking through some of the Argentine's prized possessions - including match-worn shirts from Lionel Messi and the Goalkeeper of the Tournament award from his 2021 Copa America triumph.

There was also time for a little Q&A at the end of the video, where fans wanted to know more about his Villa teammates. The opening question quizzed Martinez on the most stylish player at Villa Park.

"I'm not sure he's the best dressed but the most stylish is Matty Cash. He's a good looking boy, handsome, he dresses well, he's got a nice car, he's got a new Porsche and he fancies himself," Martinez said.

"He scored the other day and he was like a bad boy, you know - even in the dressing room. Obviously he's a lovely guy so I said to him, 'Oh, you look like Jack Grealish with his long hair'."

Foster interrupted to say: "Like a poor man's Jack Grealish." Martinez agreed, adding: "Yeah, it's one of them where he's a good looking boy and he's got a lot of money now - but he's a good boy and I like him."

Funnily enough, Grealish and Cash became close friends while they were together for a short time at Villa. In fact, when the full-back scored his first Premier League goal against Everton earlier this season, Grealish commented on his Instagram: "Well done brother - deserved that."
