Arsenal boss rules out Joel Campbell exit

Campbell to stay at Arsenal

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has dismissed speculation linking forward Joel Campbell with an exit from the club.

The Costa Rican international had a great World Cup with the national side in Brazil, as they reached their first quarter-finals in history.

Reports earlier had linked the 22-year-old with a switch to the Serie A, with AC Milan keen on sealing a deal for his services.

However, manager Arsene Wenger has come out in quick resolution and revealed that the talented youngster will remain with the club for the season.

“He’s a member of my squad at the moment, he had a good preparation, he played well against Benfica for example.In training he is very focused and eager to do well and I would like to keep him.” Wenger said.

Campbell scored 11 goals in 42 games for Olympiacos on loan last season.
