Arsenal offer Sol hope of return as United rule out swoop for defender
Glory days: Campbell enjoyed success with Arsenal[LNB]Arsene Wenger is refusing to rule out a move for former Arsenal captain Sol Campbell when the transfer window opens in January. [LNB]The former England defender has been training at the Gunners' Hertfordshire base since leaving Notts County. [LNB]The 35-year-old is free to resume his playing career after ending his contract dispute with the Coca-Cola League Two promotion hopefuls at the start of this month, and had been linked with Manchester United. [LNB]Sir Alex Ferguson has already ruled out the possibility of a move for Campbell, but it is something Wenger could consider. [LNB]Gunners boss Wenger feels there is still a strong bond between Campbell and the club he left for Portsmouth in the summer of 2006. [LNB]Wenger said: 'I do not know yet, I have not really thought about that. At the moment, we have four centre-backs and we will always have four. [LNB]'If one would go, then I would consider it, but at the moment we are four, so I have no need to sign anybody else.[LNB]'I love Sol Campbell and the fact he came back here and wanted to practice with us shows he loves the club as well. [LNB]'You never say never in these kinds of situations.'[LNB] The former Spurs and Portsmouth centre-back signed at Meadow Lane in August after being enticed to the club by director of football and former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson - but left by 'mutual consent' just one game into a lucrative five-year deal. [LNB]The Gunners boss insisted Campbell could still cut it at the highest level. [LNB]'Sol can still do a job in the Premier League, especially now he is fit. He has worked very hard,' Wenger said.[LNB] No go Sol: United boss Ferguson pours cold water on Campbell talkUnited move just a dream for Sol as Campbell admits he's had no contactSol Campbell responds to Manchester United speculation: 'It'd be a great move for me'Campbell free to play football after concluding Notts County contract spatARSENAL FC
