"Uncertainty still surrounds Joel Campbell's status at Arsenal for the 2014-15 season, though Arsene Wenger's recent comments may offer hope for the Costa Rican striker.  &amp;nbsp; #451736496 / gettyimages.com  Despite his impressive form during Costa Rica&amp;rsquo;s run to the World Cup quarter-finals, Joel Campbell has still seen his status with Arsenal for the 2014-15 season thrown up in the air this summer. Signed by the club in August 2011, after impressing for his country at the Under-20 World Cup and 2011 Copa Am&amp;eacute;rica, the ex-Saprissa prospect received his work permit last summer, following season-long loan spells at FC Lorient and Real Betis, but Arsene Wenger opted to send the promising striker out for a third-successive campaign abroad, in order to gain more first-team experience. Joining Olympiacos for 2013-14, the 22-year-old played predominantly on the right wing with the Greek champions, but still managed to net 11 goals in 43 games across all competitions, including a wonder strike against Manchester United in their Champions League last-16 tie. However, despite his excellent club and international form, rumours have persisted that Wenger is again keen to send Campbell out on loan, with a host of Premier League sides, such as Everton, Newcastle United, West Ham United and Southampton, linked to his services in recent weeks. It&amp;rsquo;s been enough to see the 38-times capped international return to London over the past week to hold talks with the club, but there remains hope, in the form of his manager&amp;rsquo;s latest comments on the health of the club&amp;rsquo;s strike-force.  Costa Rica see you soon. On my way to fight for my dreams &amp;mdash; Joel Campbell (@joel_campbell12) July 19, 2014  With Wenger ruling out adding another goalscorer this summer on the weekend, following the &amp;pound;32 million arrival of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona, there could well be room for Campbell to stake a claim to a first-team spot, though it remains to be seen how much of a chance he will get to do so in pre-season.

Based on the past woes Arsenal have had in front of goal over previous campaigns, it might prove wise to keep Campbell around at least for the first-half of the 2014-15, as the club look to build on last season&amp;rsquo;s FA Cup win and challenge on all fronts.Should Joel Campbell be given a chance at Arsenal this season?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
