Palermo not dropping pursuit of Arsenal striker Joel Campbell

A move to Palermo is still on for Arsenal striker Joel Campbell.

Tuttosport says Campbell is close to a move to Palermo, although Arsenal are holding out for a £7m fee.

The striker, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Villarreal, was the subject of a £4m offer from the Italian club, but the Gunners want almost twice that fee.

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini has returned to Italy after initial talks but is likely to return with an improved offer next week.
