Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Joel Campbell is ready to prove himself this season.
Wenger has explained why he chose not to loan out Campbell again this term.
“This season I didn't want to give him up because he has a genuine team attitude and he is a fighter whose confidence has grown.
“I smelt something in him at the start of the season and the other night he had a positive attitude. Not only was he playing safe he also has good vision. He is creative but now that is linked with confidence. You really open your eyes when you feel free. That was his biggest problem.
“Now he has his chance and it is up to him to take it. He is doing well. He is giving me selection headaches.
“What did I smell? I felt this to be his time. He's so much like Sanchez in attitude.
“We had offers from Premier League clubs to loan him out again but I'm very keen to keep him here."
