3) Joel Campbell to Rennes (loan)
Campbell could move to a number of clubs in the next 24 hours, but the latest to be linked are French club Rennes. Reports in France from Canal+ indicate Campbell could be heading to Rennes on a season long loan deal, but it is likely the Gunners will only let the Costa Rican forward leave if they manage to bring in another attacking option. Other than Olivier Giroud, Campbell was the only forward on the bench against Newcastle and if he left, we’d be left very short of attacking options, especially considering we have loaned out Chuba Akpom and Yaya Sanogo, both of whom featured in some capacity last season. Danny Welbeck is expected to return soon, but there’s no way we can rely on the trio of Welbeck, Theo Walcott and Giroud for a full season, especially with all three of them having serious injury problems in the last 12 months.
But who is the striker..
