IF Costa Rica are to pull off an upset in Group ‘D’, inspiration is likely to come from the feet of Arsenal forward Campbell.

The livewire 21-year-old joined the London club in 2011 but is still awaiting his competitive debut, having been successively loaned out to Lorient, Real Betis and Olympiakos.

He enjoyed an impressive 2013-14 campaign with Olympiakos, notably scoring a fine individual goal in a shock 2-0 win at home to Manchester United in the Champions League.

A skilful, left-footed player, Campbell typically plays on the right for Olympiakos, but may be used as a central striker at the World Cup.
