The Real Madrid midfielder, 22, has joined the Gunners on loan for the remainder of the season.

Speaking to the club's website, Arteta said: "It's great that we've secured Martin to come to us until the end of the season.

"Martin is of course a player that we all know very well and although still young, he has been playing at the top level for a while.

"Martin will provide us with quality offensive options and we're all excited to be integrating him into our plans between now and May."

Technical director Edu added: "We are delighted to welcome Martin to the club until the end of the season. I would like to thank everyone at Real Madrid and Martin's representatives for their collaboration in making this loan move happen.

"Martin is an exceptional talent and we are strengthening our squad by introducing an exciting offensive player to the club for the remaining months of this season."
