Disgruntled Arsenal forward is set to quit the North London club in January.

Thursday, November 06, 2014 – Arsenal striker, Joel Campbell, is reportedly poised to quit the North London club in January after growing frustrated over  lack of minutes on the pitch.

The Costa Rican international has played just 17 minutes of Premier League football for the Gunners this season.

The 22-year old has also been omitted from the match day squad for the Gunner’s last two games and, according to The Mirror, Campbell is keen to leave in the New Year in search of pastures new.

Campbell, who has started just one game for Arsenal in all competitions this season, the 2-1 Capital One Cup defeat to Southampton in September, is said to have attracted interest from Benfica after impressing in the 2014 FIFA World Cup but Wenger blocked the move in the summer.

Campbell’s agent Joaquim Batica told O Jogo: “Benfica fought until the last minute to sign Campbell but the move didn’t happen because, in the last hour, Arsenal decided to keep him.

“Wenger says he did not want to sell him. But if he is not in his plans, then why not allow him to leave?”

Campbell joined Arsenal in 2011but has spent the last three years away on loan to various club across Europe.
