Vermaelen: Sol can help us win title

Thomas Vermaelen has praised veteran defender Sol Campbell and the effect he's had on the team since joining the club in January.

Campbell returned to Arsenal for his second spell at the club after nearly six months out of the game, joining as a free agent after leaving Notts County.

Due to an injury to William Gallas, Campbell has found himself in the team more than was perhaps expected of a player initially signed as backup, but Vermaelen believes his experience has been invaluable for the team.

He said: "Sol has so much experience and is so strong physically that if we have to play more games without William Gallas we can do it.

"I can learn a lot from him - about my positioning on the pitch, I have learned a lot from William and from Sol on that already in my time in England."

The Belgian went on to say that he believes Arsenal can win the title and that confidence is high at the club.

He said: "I can feel in the dressing room the players are really ambitious. In training and in the games we are giving 100 per cent. We are mentally strong now, we believe we can do it."

"Chelsea and Manchester United still have to play eachother and all play against big teams. We hope they drop points and that we can win every game."
