Today’s news concerns Arsenal and Costa Rica centre forward Joel Campbell.

It was reported this morning that he may be heading out on loan to a premier league club.  Both the Metro and Daily Mail have reported this story.  Campbell is attracting interest from clubs such as West Ham, Everton, Newcastle and Southampton.

It is believed that Wenger is not yet ready to put his faith in Campbell to lead the Arsenal attack. If Campbell was to go on loan then Everton could be a very good deal. The main reason for this being is Martinez puts faith in the young players as well as playing a similar brand of football to Arsenal.

However, this could change as Campbell has the perfect opportunity tonight to show Wenger what he can do as well as when reporting back for pre- season. It was confirmed earlier this week he will get a chance in pre-season by David Ornstein of the BBC.

In my opinion, Arsenal should keep Campbell for the upcoming season. He has shown enough at this world cup to be given a chance.

Arsenal are in desperate need for strikers which would make me keep him even more. However, Wenger is the best judge when it comes to knowing if the player is ready.
