Sheffield Wednesday boss Jones welcomes deal for Arsenal keeper Martinez

Sheffield Wednesday boss Dave Jones is delighted with their loan deal for Arsenal goalkeeper Damian Martinez.

The 21-year-old Argentine has made two first team appearances for the Gunners with the second in their 7-5 League Cup win over Reading last October.

Owls boss Dave Jones told BBC Radio Sheffield: "He'll give Chris Kirkland competition and he needs that.

"He played really well in a friendly on Friday and made some great saves. Arsenal think very highly of him."
