LONDON. – Joel Campbell says the English Premier League is the place he wants to play after being inspired to try to follow the example set by Thierry Henry at Arsenal.
The striker has been farmed out on loan to Lorient, Real Betis and Olympiakos by manager Arsene Wenger since signing for the club in 2011 and is still waiting to make his Arsenal debut. He has been linked to a host of European clubs this summer including AC Milan and Galatasaray as well as West Ham, Southampton, Everton and Newcastle after he impressed for Costa Rica at the World Cup.

But the most interest appears to be in further temporary moves and Campbell wants to make his mark at Arsenal. “The Premier League’s the most interesting in the world and I’ve always wanted to play here,” Campbell told The Sun. “It’s my dream. And I believe I’m good enough.”

“I’ve played around 100 games in three different top divisions in Europe – Lorient in France, Real Betis in Spain and Olympiakos in Greece, where I played Champions League, too. – ESPN.
