Arsenal
striker Joel Campbell signed a long term deal at Emirates before joining the La Liga side Villarreal,
according to Arsenal.com.
Joel Campbell joined the Spanish outfit for the remainder of the season as a part of
Gabriel Paulista deal who joined the Gunners on a permanent deal.
Arsenal
boss Arsene Wenger paid around 11 million pounds for the Brazilian star plus
gave the young striker Campbell on a loan deal.
Campbell failed to impress Wenger at the Emirates despite of his summer’s World Cup performances for Costa Rica.
He made only ten appearances in total this season, four in Premier League only. He has not
been as impressive as Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud who are always in front
of him.
Campbell
who has been admired by Arsene Wenger several times signed the long term deal
before leaving for La Liga club, the club confirmed earlier today. the length of the contract is not clear, may be a four or five year deal.
The
22-year-old is likely to play a major role from next season if he shines in the
La Liga.
The
Costa Rican has a big chance to impress Wenger once again in La Liga and to be
a great striker for Arsenal in the future.
