Arsenal striker Joel Campbell to play for Olympiacos on loan

Joel Campbell flies to Greece to play for Olympiacos

Arsenal striker Joel Campbell is all set to spend his third season away from the Gunners, playing on loan for Greek football club Olympiacos in the upcoming season.

The 21-year-old Costa Rican starlet joined Arsenal in 2011, after playing for Saprissa, where he was loaned to french club Lorient FC before being loaned to La Liga club Real Betis.

The young footballer has now agreed to play for Olympiacos where he will get first hand experience under the expertise of Spanish coach Michel and can perk up on his attacking skills before he can offer his service at Emirates.

Campbell was Costa Rica’s highest goal-scorer in the 2009 CONCACAF U-17 Championship and made his debut in the national team in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, where he scored a goal, assisting his side for a 5-0 win over Cuba. He has scored seven goals in 25 appearances so far.
