​Arsenal manager Arteta shelves plans to sell Martinez

Arsenal are likely to keep back up goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez for another season.

The shot-stopper has gotten a chance to impress after the shoulder injury suffered by Bernd Leno.

And he has not put a foot wrong, convincing manager Mikel Arteta of his value.

The Mirror indicates he will likely be part of the squad for next season.

Arteta has shelved previous plans to revamp his collection of goalkeepers, with Leno and Martinez likely to fight it out for the no.1 shirt next term.

Martinez had only played six Premier League appearances before this season, with most of his games coming in the domestic and European cup competitions.

But he has only conceded two goals in the past five games.
