3 Reasons Why Arsenal Must Loan Out This Future Superstar Or Risk Losing Him For Good

A frustrated figure he may cut but Joel Campbell is a player with a lot of potential as seen by his performances for Costa Rica in the 2014 World Cup, he was impressive during his loan spell at Olympiakos last season as well and for some reason Arsene Wenger does not play the youngster at Arsenal, even though Yaya Sanogo keeps on getting chances.

With the likes of Lucas Podolski, Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud all fit and raring to go for Arsenal, it does not seem likely that Campbell would be getting any playing time for Arsenal and it is a mystery as to why Arsene Wenger has not sent the youngster out on loan to another club in the English setup so as to gain some valuable experience.

Joel Campbell needs game time and he could go out on loan in the transfer window, there are a host of clubs after him and one such team is West Bromwich Albion, here are 3 reasons why he should move to the club.

Game time, obviously

Campbell needs to play games to have any chance of breaking into the Arsenal team in the near future. Lucas Podolski could be the one player who leaves the club in the next transfer window or at the end of the season and Campbell would fit in perfectly since he can play out wide or play as a striker for the team.

Yaya Sanogo has not impressed as much with his performances for Arsenal and he might be another candidate to be sent out on loan, which might open the door for Campbell to make the third striker role his own for Arsenal.

Playing for another club will also give him time to grow and hone his skills rather than constantly playing reserves games for Arsenal, there is nothing like a real league encounter.

Learn about playing styles

Staying put at Arsenal would not only stagnate his growth in terms of footballing skills but also hamper his understanding of the game. Going to another club like West Brom would help him learn about different tactics and different management styles. Alan Irvine joined West Brom at the start of the season and the club are playing a different game when compared to last season and that would help Campbell learn about the coaching style.

This would only help him grow as a footballer and help him understand the game more.

Partnering Berahino

Joel Campbell could end up playing with Saido Berahino, the starry lad of the English system. Berahino has been one of the best players for West Bromwich Albion and has grown in stature with each passing game. He is currently staying at the Baggies and seems to like it there.

Campbell playing with Berahino would be a devastating pair in the attack for West Bromwich Albion and at the rate that Berahino has grown at the club, it would be a wise move to play both the pacey strikers together and tear defences apart.

The only question is why hasn’t Arsene Wenger sent out the Costa Rican on loan yet? It isn’t helping him one bit by staying stuck in a system which isn’t giving him game time. If he has to move on loan, he has to ensure that he gets to play games constantly.
