Joel Campbell has denied reports claiming he is seeking a move away from Arsenal, when the winter transfer window opens in January.
The Costa Rican has had limited first-team appearances on his return to the Emirates this season and Serie A clubs like Juventus and Inter Milan are reportedly interested in signing the forward.
However, the 22-year-old has now come out to refute such stories, in a video posted on his personal website.
“What they have been saying is not true, I’m very calm. I have not been furious,” Campbell said on www.sports.bycampbell.com on Sunday.
“Obviously, yes, I would like to be playing, but that’s something that has to be earned day by day. I have to keep training and waiting for the opportunity, I know it’s a very competitive team.
“Arsenal is one of the best teams in the world where there are many important players. I have to be patient, keep training and I know my chance will arrive and I’ll have to take advantage of it when it comes.
“[I’ve learned] a lot (from Arsene Wenger). He is a coach who has many years in football and with Arsenal. I am learning from him and from my peers every day in training. I’m doing my best to be a better player every day.”
