Campbell denies agitating for Arsenal exit

Joel Campbell denies he's agitating for a move away from Arsenal.

Campbell issued a video on his personal website dismissing reports he was seeking a move away, having just returned to the Emirates Stadium following a productive loan spell at Olympiacos.

"What they have been saying is not true, I'm very calm. I have not been furious," the 22-year-old said on sports.bycampbell.com.

"Obviously, yes, I would like to be playing, but that's something that has to be earned day by day. I have to keep training and waiting for the opportunity, I know it's a very competitive team.

"Arsenal is one of the best teams in the world where there are many important players. I have to be patient, keep training and I know my chance will arrive and I'll have to take advantage of it when it comes.

"[I've learned] a lot [from Arsene Wenger]. He is a coach who has many years in football and with Arsenal. I am learning from him and from my peers every day in training. I'm doing my best to be a better player every day."
