according to manager Arsene Wenger.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger challenged striker Joel
Campbell to show he has the quality to get more game time.
The Costa Rica international is set to be handed a rare start in
his side's League Cup clash against Sheffield Wednesday on
Tuesday.
Campbell is yet to feature for Arsenal in the Premier League this
season, with only limited game time in the cups.
Wenger praised Campbell but said he wanted to see the 23-
year-old take his chance.
"I like Joel Campbell very much for two reasons," Wenger said.
"One is that he has outstanding individual quality, but he is also
a team player. He works very hard for the team.
"I'm convinced he will get a chance here and that he will take it.
He has another opportunity against Sheffield Wednesday and
I’m hopeful that he will show that he has the quality to play for
Arsenal."
Wenger is likely to play an under-strength team against the
Championship side at Hillsborough.
The Frenchman said it was an opportunity for his fringe players
to impress.
"We want the players who come in to the team to show they are
able to make the squad successful, and do absolutely
everything to help us win," Wenger said.
"That's the job of a footballer. When you get the chance, you
have to be ready."
