Costa Rican young gun Campbell joins Arsenal

Arsenal have secured the services of Deportivo Saprissa youngster Joel Campbell.

The 19-year old Costa Rica international has been a target for the Gunners for most of the summer and a statement on the club's official website has confirmed the signing.

"Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to welcome the young striker to the club and look forward to his contributions to the team," the statement read.

Campbell had also attracted interest from Italian club Fiorentina in recent times but he has been snared by Arsenal who believe he has plenty of potential and could have a long career in North London.
