Arsene Wenger feels it is "now or never" for Joel Campbell to make it at Arsenal.
The 23-year-old Costa Rica forward could make his first Premier League start of the season at Swansea on Saturday following injury to England duo Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the midweek Capital One Cup defeat at Sheffield Wednesday.
Campbell joined the Gunners in August 2011 from Deportivo Saprissa, but spent campaigns on loan at Lorient and Real Betis as he waited for a work permit before heading to Olympiakos and then spending a spell at Villarreal.
"I wanted to keep him here, I felt he has been on loan two or three times and that it is now or never for him with us," said Wenger.
"For him, as well, you belong to a club, you go one time out, two times out then after that you don't know any more if you belong to the club or not."
Wenger believes Campbell - who impressed during Costa Rica's run to the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup - possesses a potentially potent combination of styles.
"He has two positions - right side and centre-forward," added Wenger. "He is a bit of a mixture between Walcott and (Olivier) Giroud. He likes to play with his back to goal like Giroud, but as well is a bit of a dribbler."
