Campbell - proposed move off.
ARSENAL FAIL IN COSTA RICAN BID

Arsenal's bid to sign promising Costa Rica forward Joel Campbell appears to have failed.
The 19-year-old was all set for a £900,000 move from Deportivo Saprissa.
However, it now appears talks have broken down with the youngster's representatives.
Saprissa president Juan Carlos Rojas told La Nacion newspaper: "It is a disappointment for football, for Saprissa and for me that they have decided not to take up an offer from as serious and first-class people as Arsenal.
"I hope it works out for Joel.
"I assume his father thinks that things will get better and that's why he made this decision, but, hey, there's always a risk.
"It's a shame that Costa Rican football could not have a player at Arsenal at this time."

Gecov - excited by Fulham challenge.
COTTAGERS AGREE MARCEL GECOV DEAL

Fulham manager Martin Jol has announced that Czech Under-21 international Marcel Gecov has joined from Slovan Liberec for an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old impressed during the summer's Under-21 European Championships and has been on the Cottagers' radar for the past year.
Gecov has penned a two-year deal with the club after successfully passing a medical.
"He's signed and I am happy with him," said Jol. "He is a very talented player.
"Good midfield player and played against England [in the Under-21 European Championships] and got two assists so he is full of confidence.
"He knows he can play against English teams and that helps. He signed the contract yesterday.
"He had a very good tournament and was very decisive in games.
"That gave us confidence and he has been on our radar for at least a year.
"The Fulham scouts knew him and had very good reports on him."
The deal is reportedly worth £700,000 and Jol believes Gecov is a good addition to the Cottagers' squad.
"He is a typical midfield player and he is relatively young," he added.
"He is aggressive and, as I've said, I am happy he is on board."
