Arsenal agrees deal to sign Costa Rica starlet Joel Campbell
Posted Saturday, August 13, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Arsenal has confirmed an agreement has been reached over the transfer of Costa Rica starlet Joel Campbell.
The 19-year-old striker was a part of Costa Rica's Gold Cup squad this summer, and also appeared for his country in the Under-20 World Cup, scoring two goals in four games.
Goal.com revealed last month that the Gunners had agreed a €1.4 million fee with his club Deportivo Saprissa, despite being the subject of interest from a host of European clubs.
The EPL outfit have confirmed the transfer is subject to 'completion of formal agreements and processes'.
“Joel Campbell has already shown that he is a player with great ability, and has also performed well on the international stage at a young age," Arsene Wenger told the club's official website. "We look forward to the formalities of the transfer being completed and working with Joel when he joins us at Arsenal."
