Joel CampbellJoel Campbell is on the verge of sealing a season-long loan move to Palermo, according to reports in Italy.

The 23-year-old has been tipped to leave the Emirates one way or another this summer, and Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the striker is set to complete a loan move to Palermo in hope gaining regular first-team football this season.

It is understood the Costa Rica international and his representative are due to meet with Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini sometime this week to finalise personal terms.

Although Campbell has only featured nine times for the Gunners, Arsene Wenger rates him highly and will be delighted to see this deal go through.

Campbell spent the second-half of last season out on loan at Villarreal and another loan move away this summer looks to be the best option for all parties involved.

Should this deal go through, then this would be Campbell’s FIFTH loan move since joining the club back in 2011, having spent time at Lorient, Betis, Olympiacos and Villarreal.
