Tottenham boss Redknapp would have had Campbell back

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has revealed he would have taken Sol Campbell back if he wasn't at White Hart Lane.

The 34-year old signed a deal with League Two club Notts County, bringing criticism upon himself, but Redknapp said if he had his way, Campbell would have again been playing Premier League football.

"I'll be honest with you, if I wasn't at Tottenham, if I was at any other Premier League cub, I would have signed Sol Campbell," he said.

"I think he's still a fantastic player. Anybody looking for a centre-half would want him. I'd have taken him without any problem at all because he's still that good.

"He's still one of the top six central defenders in the Premier League so, for Notts County to get him in that division, is incredible."
