Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has praised Joel
Campbell saying that he hopes the youngster is
given
an opportunity in an Arsenal shirt next season.
Campbell, 21, has been with Arsenal since 2011
but work permit issues have meant that the striker
has
been unable to make a single appearance for his
parent club. However those issues have now
been
solved and after a number of loan spells Campbell is
now ready to take his chance at Arsenal.
Henry, who is working for the BBC at the World
Cup
was effusive in his praise for Campbell saying that
he hoped Arsenal fans would get to see Campbell
lining
up for their team soon.
“Joel Campbell is a great player. He can pass the
ball
well and smells the goal,” Henry said. “We are all waiting to see him in an Arsenal shirt.
Hopefully he will be a player Arsene Wenger likes
because I would love to see him play for Arsenal.”
Henry played over 350 games for Arsenal and he
is
currently their all time record scorer with 226 goals in
all competitions.
This season Campbell has been on loan at Greek
side
Olympiacos where he shot to prominence
following his sensational goal against Manchester United in
the
Champions League.
He started the World Cup with a goal and an
assist as Costa Rica shocked Uruguay to claim an
opening 3-1 victory. He had a slightly more isolated
role against Italy but he still proved himself to be
a
very useful outlet for his team
