Arsenal has rejected a Liverpool approach for Joel Campbell this summer, Goal UK reports.
The Merseysiders are among a cluster of clubs that have inquired about taking the Costa Rica international on a season-long loan. However, Arsene Wenger has rebuffed all offers and wants to hold on to the 22-year-old at least until January.
Campbell will be integrated into the Arsenal senior squad for the first time since joining the club in 2011, following loan spells at Lorient, Real Betis and Olympiakos. He will join Olivier Giroud, Yaya Sanogo and new signing Alexis Sanchez in battling for the central striker's role.
Speaking at his Friday press briefing ahead of Saturday's Premier League curtain-raiser against Crystal Palace, Wenger said Campbell had "matured a lot" and figured in his plans for the forthcoming campaign.
