With the patience of Arsenal supporters already growing thinner, Arsene Wenger may not dare to kindle their rage by offloading yet another striker, but the Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Lazio may try to lure Joel Campbell to Stadio Olimpico this summer despite the difficulty that the transfer may impose.

The 23-year-old has never been able to find his breakthrough at the Emirates Stadium despite his undoubted prowess and apparently does not seem to be a part of the plans that the French manager has for his squad this season.

With the likes of Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Danny Welbeck ahead of him in the pecking order, there is very little to no chance that he makes it big at Arsenal, unless some miracle occurs as in the peculiar case of former forever-loanee Francis Coquelin.

The London outfit have fended off interests from Real Sociedad and Palermo earlier this season and could be expected to answer Lazio in a similar fashion as they would run short of numbers upfront in the event of an injury to lone centre-forward Olivier Giroud. The Italian outfit, however; are keen to strike a deal for him after failing in their attempt to sign Liverpool outcast Fabio Borini.
