Arsenal have agreed a move for Costa Rican striker Joel Campbell for a fee of 1.2m GBP. Arsene Wenger admitted he signed the player on "raw talent alone".

Campbell has signed a four year contract in London, and said of the move: "It is a dream come true to play for such a big club in England and I want to do well for myself and Costa Rica.

"I am ready, I am very happy to be here and I want to focus on doing well for Arsenal.

"Arsene Wenger is a manager of immense quality. He knows how to use youngsters' ability. I have been watching Arsenal play since I was a kid and I took this decision because I know I have a possibility to become a better player here.

"I'm good in one-on-ones and I am a player who knows how to score goals. I play forward and I can play on both sides.

"I am going to learn a lot from the players here because they are experienced players who are very skilled."
