Real Betis negotiating loan extension for Arsenal's Joel Campbell
ARSENAL may be resigned to letting youngster Joel Campbell having his loan extended by Real Betis.
The 20-year-old has been in impressive form for Betis this season after spending the previous campaign in France.
Campbell spoke recently about his desire to Spain in order to continue his footballing development.
He has been unable to play in England, as he hasn't received a work permit.
And Betis coach Pep Mel has signalled that he wishes to extend Campbell's loan.
"We are advancing the negotiations to reach an agreement," Mel told Spanish paper Estadio Deportivo.
"This won't be easy, but we want to speak in London with clarity and to agree a new loan. I believe that it will be positive for all parties."
Campbell has netted twice for Betis in the La Liga this season.
