Campbell and County settle dispute

He can sign for any club he wants now."[LNB]Although Campbell is reportedly free to sign for a club immediately, he is not expected to return to action until the new year.[LNB]The former England defender has been linked with Championship outfits Newcastle and West Brom and has been training with Arsenal to keep up his fitness, although Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has ruled out the possibility of Campbell returning to the club.[LNB]The Magpies are the favourites to land his signature, with Campbell himself admitting in October that he was interested in a move to the north-east.[LNB][LNB]
