Joel Campbell is enjoying his time at Olympiacos and, according to his agent, is trying to engineer a permanent move to the Greek side.

The young Costa Rican is on loan for the season and is enjoying a decent campaign with 7 goals to his name this far.

His agent, Joaquim Batica, is quoted in the local press, saying, “Olympiacos wants to keep Joel. I know because I was told by the club about 10 days ago when I was there. They asked if Joel is happy. I told them he is very happy with his life in Greece.

“I understand that he has already begun discussions with Olympiacos and Arsenal on this topic. Above all, it is a matter between the two clubs. However, it is difficult, since Joel belongs to a big club like Arsenal and this, as you know, makes things more complicated.

Batica went on to suggest the player is happier at a club in a smaller league because he can play more often.

“You know, he is more interested in playing. For example, Joel would not be happy to be in one of the top leagues but staying on the bench week in, week out.”

It’s good to know that all that time our chief transfer fixer spent trying to sign this lad has proved so fruitful for the club.

It was probably a sign of where he’s at that Arsene Wenger chose to keep Ryo Miyaichi rather than Campbell this season.

But good luck to the lad.
