..Arsenal use Campbell to land Appiah
According to the UK tabloid, THE SUN, Ghana captain Stephen Appiah wants to join Arsenal but his club Fenerbahce want to persuade former Gunner Sol Campbell to join them first

Appiah is desperate for a move to North London but his club Fenerbahce have so far refused to sell. However, the Turkish giants are now understood to be willing to let their prize midfielder go - if long-term target Sol Campbell agrees to move the opposite way.

Appiah, 25, said: "No deal has been done yet but 50 per cent of me is coming to Arsenal. Clubs like AS Roma, Juventus and Marseille all want me. But I don't want to go to Italy again.

"I prefer Arsenal - they are my No 1 choice.

"The Premiership is the league to be in right now and I think it will be good for my career. I'm in the best shape of my career and I want to win more trophies.

"Playing in London would be great but let's wait and see what happens."

Campbell, 31, quit Arsenal at the weekend following a series of personal problems and now wants to finish his career abroad.
