Damian Martinez: I know Arsenal believe in me

Damian Martinez is happy at Arsenal.

The goalkeeper made his Champions League debut in the midweek win at Anderlecht.

Part of Martinez's learning curve has included a loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday in 2013/14, with important game time taken in at Hillsborough.

He told Ole: "Arsene (Wenger) said to me that he wanted me to get experience there. And as the second division in England is very strong, I was sent on loan to Sheffield.

"The goalkeeper there has a lot of experience but I was lucky enough to replace him. I played 20 games and had good performances.

"It was a good experience as they wanted me to get adapted.

"They (Arsenal) must be happy with how I got on because they have renewed my contract for another four years."
