Fenerbahce track Arsenal's Campbell

Arsenal defender Sol Campbell is a target for Turkish club Fenerbahce

Arsenal defender Sol Campbell is a target for Turkish club Fenerbahce. The 31-year-old England centre-half is rumoured to have been offered a three-year deal worth £70,000 a week.

Campbell's stock has fallen considerably in recent months after a difficult season coping with injury and off-field problems.

He has three years to run on a deal he only signed last year but sources at Fenerbahce claim vice-president Mahmut Uslu met Campbell's agent Sky Andrew in Germany to discuss personal terms.

Campbell controversially joined Arsenal from arch-rivals Tottenham on a free transfer in 2001 after allowing his contract to run down at White Hart Lane.
