Club representatives in talks with 24-year-old forward, as they look to complete Arsenal deal

Joel Campbell

Arsenal winger Joel Campbell could be offered a permanent route out of the Emirates this summer with Fenerbahce seemingly keen on his services.

The Costa Rica international joined the Gunners from Saprissa back in the summer of 2011 but had to wait until the 2014-15 season for his first-team debut due to a delay in obtaining a work permit.

According to Turkish outlet AMK, the attacker could part ways with the north London club in the summer with Fenerbahce willing to discuss a potential move for his signature.

The Super Lig outfit are due to send their representatives to meet up with the attacker in London as they seek to offer him some stability in the next stage of his career.

Campbell is currently plying his trade on a season-long loan with Portuguese giants Sporting, where he has been restricted to a cameo role after netting four goals in his first 10 outings for the club.

The South American footballer is contracted to the Gunners until the summer of 2018, and his future looks bleak with the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Alex Iwobi ahead of him in the pecking order.

Campbell has previously spent loan spells with Lorient, Real Betis, Villareal and Olympiakos during his Gunners career, and it appears that he could pursue his future elsewhere with the club unlikely to offer him a potential extension.

The 24-year-old may not be the only Arsenal player leaving for Istanbul in the summer with backup goalkeeper David Ospina also deemed to have finalised a four-year deal ahead of his potential switch to Fenerbahce.
