Since then the footballer has been out on four loans, and despite the unsettled nature of his career, he’s managed to pick up more than 50 caps for Costa Rica.
Capable of absolutely brilliant flashes of football, and blessed with useful pace, Campbell will hope he can add to his game when settled at a new club.
Marca say that new club could be Valencia, who have already purchased Luis Nani and would look to use the pair to speed up their attack and scare La Liga defences.
Campbell has a contract with Arsenal until June 2018, and maybe Valencia would prefer a loan with an option or obligation to buy, given their current battle to stay on the right side of Financial Fair Play.
