With Wenger picking an experimental line-up for the match in Istanbul, forward Joel Campbell was handed a rare start on the right-hand side of the attack and showed moments of promise, almost grabbing a goal of his own in the first-half after breaking through the Galatasaray defence, only to be denied by a fine save from goalkeeper Sinan Bolat.

Not showing any disappointment over how little he’s played this season (just one start in the Capital One Cup and five brief cameos as a sub), he said,

“Today was a chance for those who haven’t played much, like me! I think we made the most of it in the best way, by winning in such a difficult scenario.”

“I’m confident that I’m developing as a player and I’ll work step by step and work for my chance. I’m happy here, I’m learning every day and hopefully my chance will come.”

Campbell has attracted interest from a number of European and Premier League sides in recent months, however Wenger insists the 22-year-old is part of his plans.

“Campbell will stay with us,” the Frenchman said when asked on the latest rumours surrounding the youngster.

However, It needs to be seen how much playing time Wenger will give him. The Frenchman clearly not yet convinced that the 22-year-old is ready for a sizeable role in the team, despite his starring World Cup displays this past summer.

Keep Calm Joel, Arsene Knows!
