Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed the signing of Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez on a season-long loan deal.

The Argentine, 22, has made eight senior appearances for the Gunners since 2012.

Martinez has enjoyed loan spells with Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United in recent years.

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

"I have been aware of him from being in and around the Arsenal set-up for a few years and he has also has experience of the Championship from loan spells with Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham.

"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."

Wolves started the new season on Saturday with a 2-1 victory away to Blackburn Rovers.
