Emiliano Martinez is committed to staying at Arsenal and fighting Bernd Leno for the No 1 jersey.

The goalkeeper has had several loan spells and has so far struggled to stake his claim as Arsenal’s longterm shotstopper.

However, after a successful six-month loan at Reading and helping to keep the Royals in the Championship last season, Martinez has caught the attention of several clubs in Europe.

Emi Martinez wants to remain in North London

After allowing David Ospina to make his switch to Napoli permanent, fortunately for Unai Emery Martinez has pledged his future to Arsenal.

He said: “My dream is to play for Arsenal. But it’s time for me to make it there or go somewhere else.

“When I signed my last contract for six years it was because I believed I had everything to be No.1. Why would I sign for six years if I wasn’t going to have any games?

“If they don’t trust me, then I will have to move away and the Arsenal fans will understand. But I believe I should have the chance to show how good I am at Arsenal.

“I want to stay in England. My wife and my kid were born here and I want to stay at Arsenal – that’s the truth, so I hope they give me the chance.”

Gooners, do you believe Martinez can make it with us? Let us know in the comments…
