Arsenal FC Transfer News: Joel Campbell Gives Clarity To 'Exit' Speculations

Versatile Arsenal attacker Joel Campbell made an effort to dismiss speculations stating that he could be heading for the exit doors at the Emirates.

The 22-year-old Costa Rican international came off an impressive campaign with Olympiakos while on loan and his national team during the recent World Cup, but is still finding it hard to make a breakthrough in Arsene Wenger's squad.

Nevertheless, he is patient and is looking to maximise any opportunity for the time being.

"What they have been saying is not true, I'm very calm. I have not been furious," the 22-year-old said on www.sports.bycampbell.com.

"Obviously, yes, I would like to be playing, but that's something that has to be earned day by day. I have to keep training and waiting for the opportunity, I know it's a very competitive team."

"Arsenal is one of the best teams in the world where there are many important players. I have to be patient, keep training and I know my chance will arrive and I'll have to take advantage of it when it comes."

"[I've learned] a lot [from Arsene Wenger]. He is a coach who has many years in football and with Arsenal. I am learning from him and from my peers every day in training. I'm doing my best to be a better player every day."
