Reading have brought in Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez on loan for the rest of the season.

Martinez trained with his new team-mates on Wednesday after completing a medical to put the seal on his move from the Emirates Stadium.

The 26-year-old has been with Arsenal since 2012, but has only made a total of 14 first-team appearances, with six of those coming in the Premier League.

This will be his sixth spell away from the club on loan, following stints with Oxford United, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham United, Wolves, and Getafe.

Reading manager Jose Gomes said: "I am delighted we have been able to attract a goalkeeper of Emi's undoubted ability to Reading.
