Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini admits a deal for Arsenal striker Joel Campbell is off.

Zamparini has been in London this week.

“I'm in London now, I tried to close it [the deal] last week," Zamparini explained in an interview with Radio Sportiva.

“Right now it's impossible, I only have one non-EU slot in the squad, and I opted for the Serbian, Djurdjevic.

“Besides, I'm not in the habit of getting players from clubs like Arsenal. I'm a President who looks for less well-known players, from clubs like Cremonese or Avellino."
