Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini claims Arsenal are stalling talks over Joel Campbell’s future. The Costa Rica international is reportedly on his way out of the Emirates this summer and there are various clubs that are after the 23-year-old’s signature. Whilst Villarreal are strongly interested in the forward, Italian side Palermo are the favourites.

However, the Italian club’s president has accused Arsenal of refusing to budge on their valuation of Cambell, meaning the deal is on the verge of collapsing.

“I’m here in London to try a final drive for the player, but Arsenal aren’t moving from their initial positions.” said Zamparini.

“Campbell is unattainable as of now. If some margins open up for a negotiation then all for the better, otherwise we can’t do anything.”

Campbell has had his chances limited at Arsenal since he had an impressive World Cup. The winger was touted to play a relatively big part in the Arsenal side last season, but failed to make an impact on the squad whatsoever.

Since joining in 2011, the 23-year-old has yet to really have a chance in the Arsenal side which will disappoint fans, however perhaps a move away from north London will benefit the Costa Rican.

Speaking on ITV last season, Arsenal legend Ian Wright was full of optimism for Cambell. He had this to say about the forward:

“He’s a typical Arsenal player, he picks the ball up in the final third a lot, has a very clean shot and great technical ability. He’s got the vision, and can play a fantastic pass. He has the confidence to take defenders on two-on-one. It will be very interesting to see what happens when he comes back to Arsenal.”
