The team's defender Sol Campbell stated that only a few minor formalities remained, and that the contract with the club would be signed in the near future. The thirty-year-old footballer did not want to disclose any details of the possible contract.
The leaders of the London team hinted that the contract would not be signed for just one year, but did not say anything more specific.
"So far, we have only reached an agreement with the club verbally, but we do not promise to wait and will soon officially solidify everything," said S. Campbell.
The player, who became the English champion last season with Arsenal, does not believe that this contract will be the last of his career.
"I hope to be able to play at least until around 35 years old," said the player - "But who knows? Unexpected reasons could arise that would require me to end my career."
