Joel Campbell says he 'deserved to play more' for Arsenal last season

Arsenal winger Joel Campbell says he 'deserved to play more' for the Gunners last season as he prepares for his fifth loan spell away from the Emirates.

Campbell has now been sent out on five separate loan spells in as many years since arriving in north London but the versatile forward remains determined to prove his worth in Portugal.
