El técnico del Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, salió satisfecho con el debut del tico Joel Campbell, quien anotó y brindó una asistencia en el triunfo del Arsenal 5-1 ante el Benfica.
"Campbell jugó muy bien, él tiene un buen equilibrio y me quedé muy impresionado por él hoy, quiero mantenerlo", dijo Wenger en conferencia de prensa tras el encuentro.
Además, el timonel de Los Gunners aseguró que debe darle más minuto a Campbell, así como al francés Yaya Sanogo.
"Sanogo y Campbell necesitan jugar, pero necesitan jugar aquí", explicó Wenger.
Campbell hace pretemporada con el Arsenal, luego de su paso por el Olympiacos de Grecia, Betis de España y Lorient de Francia.
Wenger: "Campbell played very well. He has good balance and I was very impressed by him today. I want to keep him" #AFCvBEN
