Campbell signs for Portsmouth
(Reuters)
Updated: 2006-08-09 16:43 LONDON, Aug 8 - Former
Arsenal defender Sol Campbell signed a two-year contract with Premier League
rivals Portsmouth on Tuesday, the south coast club said.
Campbell, who joins as a free agent after ending his five-year spell with
Arsenal last month, underwent a medical on Monday and trained with Portsmouth's
squad on Tuesday before signing the deal.
The arrival of the England central defender, who will be 32 next month,
represents a coup by Pompey manager Harry Redknapp, whose team narrowly avoided
relegation last season.
Campbell, a former Tottenham Hotspur captain, won two league titles and three
FA Cups with Arsenal. He scored in their Champions League final defeat by
Barcelona in May.
