Campbell to make Portsmouth decision in 48hrs
|
Released Arsenal defender Sol Campbell will let Portsmouth know by the weekend whether he will join them.
The Guardian says Campbell has agreed to tell Portsmouth in the next 48 hours whether he plans to take up their contract offer. The central defender is a free agent after being released by Arsenal and is considering staying in the Premiership after initially stating he wanted to take up a fresh challenge abroad.
Campbell held talks last weekend with Harry Redknapp, who has made the 31-year-old his principal central defensive target, putting on hold a move for Manchester City's Sylvain Distin while he awaits a response.
The Portsmouth manager wants another experienced centre-half and is not put off by Campbell's injury problems and sometimes shaky form last season. Campbell also has offers from abroad but Newcastle United have dropped their interest in him.
