Arsenal outsider Joel Campbell has reportedly pleaded with the Gunners not to send him on his sixth loan spell since he joined the club in 2011 - as continues his recovery from a knee injury sustained on international duty in July.
The 25-year-old returned to the Gunners training base earlier this week as he continues to build up his fitness, and the Guardian have reported that he is reluctant to go on another loan as he has already spent a significant amount of time away from the Emirates.

Campbell joined the Gunners from Deportivo as a 19-year-old in 2011, where he has since made only 23 Premier League appearances - scoring three goals and providing two assists - as he has spent the majority of his time on loan with the likes of Sporting CP, Villarreal, Olympiakos, and Real Betis.
