Newcastle United have signed former Arsenal and Tottenham defender Sol Campbell on a one year deal as Chris Hughton aims to make an impact on the Premier League this season. The 35 year old who will wear the number 5 shirt told the official club website nufc.co.uk;

"At this stage I couldn't have wished for a better move. I'd like to thank Chris Hughton for putting his faith in me and aim to repay him and the supporters by giving everything I possibly can to help re-establish this great club in the top-tier of English football.

I just want to play and can't wait to get started. There’s a real buzz about the place and that’s great. I’ve played at St. James’ Park numerous times and always found it a fantastic place to play, there’s always a tremendous atmosphere"

Hughton also had his say - he said;

"I have known Sol since he was a lad at Tottenham and am fully aware of what he has to offer. That is experience, quality, calm assurance and leadership. He's a dedicated professional, a terrific addition to the squad, and I look forward to working with him again."
