Arsenal are lining up a move for Atletico Madrid winger Gelson Martins as they seek reinforcements to help with their top four challenge.
The Gunners are only able to make loan signings this month but are yet to add to their squad, with Unai Emery enduring a frustrating transfer window and head of recruitment Sven Mislintat reportedly on the brink of leaving.
There are signs that progress is being made with Portuguese newspaper O Jogo (via the Mirror) claiming that Arsenal have submitted an offer for Martins.
Martins been a peripheral figure for Atletico Madrid this season following his summer move from Sporting CP, so Diego Simeone may be prepared to let him leave on loan.
