Arsenal striker Joel Campbell wants to sign permanently with Real Betis.

Campbell's current loan spell with Betis has been overshadowed by knee and ankle injuries that have restricted him to only three La Liga appearances all season.

But he is hoping to earn himself a permanent switch from London to Spain in the final weeks of a season where Betis are vying with Sevilla and Villarreal for European qualification.

“I have not played for a long time and I must go step by step, to keep working hard and not to become frustrated," Campbell told Radio Seville.

“My idea is to stay here for many years but those decisions are not mine, I have been lucky enough to enjoy lots of different clubs and leagues but I like it here.

“We want to remain as high as possible in the table and aim for a European spot – we are a great club who deserve to be at that level. We must keep working with the coach's philosophy and aim to keep improving, but I believe we are on the right path."
