Sol Campbell is excited about his imminent return to Arsenal.

The Daily Mail says Campbell will complete a shock £20,000-a-week return to Arsenal in the next few days.

"I cannot tell you how much I've missed playing after being out so long since leaving Notts County," he told ESPN. "There are still a few technicalities to be ironed out but I am signing until the end of the season, and it's fantastic, great, marvellous.

"I'm ecstatic to be back at Arsenal and I have worked bloody hard to get there. Arsene Wenger has been an inspiration.

"He has watched me closely after letting me train at Arsenal for nearly two months. He's not stupid - he wouldn't have taken me back if he didn't like what he has seen.

"I've missed it and I've a gut feeling this is the right move. It's no longer a hunger to get back - it's turned into a craving. I'm raring to go."
