Arsenal have allowed goalkeeper Emilio Martinez to join Getafe on a season-long loan.

The 24-year made five appearances for the Gunners last season and has previously had loan spells with Oxford, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham and Wolves.

The Spaniard is hoping his time at Getafe can propel him into contention for the number one spot at Arsenal next season.

He told Arsenal Player: "I came from nothing and I'm at Arsenal now, one of the biggest clubs in the world, but I'm never satisfied.

"I was third choice fighting for second spot, so maybe the season after I will fight for number one.

"You always need to give more at Arsenal. It's never enough and that's what I try to do."
