Arsene Wenger's "outstanding" Arsenal talent who flopped breaks record at World Cup 2022

Former Arsenal flop Joel Campbell has gone on to break a record at the Qatar World Cup having been backed for big things by Gunners Arsene Wenger.

The 30-year-old winger is currently starring for Costa Rica at the tournament - the third time he has been at a World Cup in his career. Whilst his nation have not yet quite hit the heights of their 2014 peak where they topped a group including England, Italy and Uruguay to reach the quarter-finals in Brazil, they have still managed to cause a shock.

They earned their first victory of the tournament in Qatar against Japan on Sunday with Keysher Fuller’s strike proving enough for the three points. It now sets up the final matchday with Costa Rice still having a chance to reach the last-16 - albeit they have a huge disadvantage due to their inferior goal difference.
