# Liverpool plot surprise January swoop for Arsenal’s forgotten man

[![Campbell.jpg](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Joel-Campbell1-500x318.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Joel-Campbell1.jpg?admin)Arsenal fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern are looking up with annoyance as [Metro](https://metro.co.uk/2014/12/02/liverpool-set-to-begin-talks-with-arsenal-over-joel-campbell-transfer-4971760/) seem to think that the Gunners might be considering a shock offer for Joel Campbell.

The Costa Rican international forward has not been given the chance our punters wanted to see him handed this season despite – in our view – doing more than enough to impress us at the World Cup.

With first team chances at a minimum with the Gunners, Campbell has now been linked with a loan move away – possibly to Swansea City once the January transfer window opens.

That said, it seems that Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers are willing to go one better.

Rodgers is a known admirer of the forward and is desperate to get someone in at the club who can score goals and keep a low profile off the field – something that Campbell has proven he can do.

Whilst our Liverpool fans are slightly excited at this prospect, the majority of our Arsenal supporters think this is a shocking idea that would only prove how out of touch Arsene Wenger really is!

### **Arsenal fans. Would selling Campbell to a Premier League rival like Liverpool represent a massive mistake that could come back to haunt you? Let us know your thoughts below.**
