Wolverhampton Wanderers sign Arsenal's Damian Martinez on loan

Wolverhampton Wanderers have secured the services of goalkeeper Damian Martinez on a season-long loan from Arsenal.

The 22-year-old has made eight senior appearances for the Gunners since graduating from the club's academy.

"We are delighted to have brought Emi to the club for the season," manager Kenny Jackett told the club's official website.

"It is very important to have good competition among your goalkeepers not just at the start of the season but as it progresses. So it is good to bring Emi in right at the start and we are looking forward to working with him."

Martinez enjoyed loan stints with Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United in recent seasons.
