Martinez honed his talents with loan spells at Oxford, Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham and Wolves and is likely to feature in the EFL Cup quarter-final tie with Southampton next week.
Arsene Wenger praised the former Argentina Under-20 international, who follows on from Hector Bellerin in signing a fresh contract with the club.
'If you look at him, I personally see all the top qualities that a goalkeeper needs,' Wenger told Arsenal Player.
'He has the stature, he has the passion, he has the technical quality, he has the decision-making, he has huge power and he's not frightened of anything.'
