Arsenal have made an approach for Atletico Madrid winger Gelson Martins.

The Portuguese has struggled to adapt at Atleti since signing a six-year contract as a free agent in the summer.

Los Rojiblancos are keen to offload Martins in order to sign other players.

According to Metro, the Gunners have offered to take the 23-year-old on loan for the rest of the season.

Arsenal are unable to sign players permanently this month due to financial restrictions.
