Big Sol set for return
Arsenal fans can expect to see club legend Sol Campbell back in their jersey soon. Speculation is rife that the 35-year-old former England defender will rejoin the Gunners after he played 45 minutes for their reserves against West Ham a few days back and is now expected to be offered a short-term contract by the club. "He has a fantastic attitude and good fitness," commented Gunners boss Arene Wenger last week. "Of course he is not the youngest, but he is in a very good shape. He can still play in the EPL. He is also important in the dressing room. He's positive with the young players.” Campbell spent five years at Arsenal between 2001-06 and won two EPL titles and three FA Cups with the club. He is expected to provide cover for Thomas Vermaelen and William Gallas along with the 32-year-old Mikael Silvestre.
