| Joel Campbell is reportedly in talks with Arsenal over a new bumper deal |
The Costa Rica international has enjoyed a breakthrough season at The Emirates this term, finally getting a run in the first-team due to the Gunners injury crisis.
With a number of key attacking players including Danny Welbeck and Santi Cazorla sidelined, Wenger has been forced into playing the 23-year-old and has been duly rewarded.

Campbell has made 10 appearances this term, scoring twice and the Arsenal boss has heaped praised on him for his recent performances.
"Joel Campbell is a very good player who has individual skill but what I also like is that he is a real team player," he said last month.
"Now he gets his chance and he is getting stronger in every game."
And it appears the winger has impressed enough to earn himself a new deal, according to website Footballinsider247.
The website claims the Gunners have held preliminary talks with Campbell about an improved deal expected to be worth £60,000 a week.
He only recently signed a new contract 12 months ago, extending his stay at The Emirates until 2018 but it's claimed Wenger is ready to reward his status as a first-team player with a bumper offer.
