When the England centre-half, left, expressed his desire to quit Arsenal, he said it was because he wanted to taste a new footballing culture and a different way of life. He was linked with a move to Marseille in the south of France but the more earthy charms of downtown Fratton have kept him here. Wenger said: "It is a big surprise because Sol cancelled his contract to go abroad. Have you sold Portsmouth to a foreign country?"
Campbell will be joined by another fading England international in David James. The Manchester City keeper is set to complete a shock £1million move to his sixth club later this week.
