Campbell urges Arsenal to accept Eriksen swap for Xhaka

Ex-Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell has urged the club to take up the opportunity to sign Christian Eriksen.

The former Tottenham star admitted this week that things had not gone to plan since he joined Inter Milan in January.

Reports broke this week that claimed the Gunners were considering a swap deal with Inter for Eriksen, which would involve Granit Xhaka heading to the San Siro.

"Eriksen played for the rivals but we all know the quality he possesses, that is for sure," Campbell said to Football Insider.

"It is not quite working out for him at Inter right now and I am sure he would be a good addition to Arsenal's squad.

"I do not care if he played for Spurs – he is a superb player who can bring something to the table for Arsenal.

"I would not mind it if we swapped Eriksen for Xhaka. The key is building and fattening that squad up to challenge and you can never have enough quality players."
