Campbell confident of Arsenal stay

Sol Campbell is hoping for a new one-year contract from Arsène Wenger this summer.

The defender re-signed for Arsenal in January and has turned back the years to put in some impressive performances for the Gunners at the business end of the season.

Campbell feels he has two years left at the top level, and hopes he will be given the chance to prove himself.

He told Arsenal.com: "I want to stay and I want to give it my all for at least another year. I could do two but the manager never gives out two. We always want a little bit more!

"Give me one year and I'll work every day and try to win a trophy and bring some kind of glory back to Arsenal.

"Deep inside I feel I've got two real gritty years left in me, the years in which I can affect things. If I'm in the team I can really make a difference. I know that. And after two years I will look at it again and we'll see."

The 35-year-old went on to hint that even after two years, he sees a role for himself at the club, perhaps in some kind of coaching capacity.

He said: "After [two years] I might only be able to play games here and there, who knows, but I think I can be an influence and be positive and win games.

"The negotiations are either going to be done in a week or two or it might take until July – you just don't know how things will pan out. We'll have to see how Arsène sees me at the Club."
