Arsenal boss Wenger: Joel Campbell deserves chance

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Joel Campbell deserves his chance.

Wenger has increased his attacking options with the signing of Alexis Sanchez but insists Campbell will be given a chance to demonstrate his potential this season.

"He has come from a non-competitive world to a world with hyper-competition," Wenger told arsenal.com.

"He has adapted slowly, but has adapted very well, he has a very good spirit and attitude.

"He is a member of my squad at the moment, He had a good preparation and played well against Benfica.

"In training he is very focused and eager to do well. I would like to keep him."
