Stoke boss Pulis: Campbell great signing for Arsenal

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis was impressed by Sol Campbell on his Arsenal 'debut' yesterday.

Campbell caught the eye, despite Stoke beating the Gunners 3-1 in their FA Cup tie.

The supportive words of Pulis, a man who understands the nature of a physical battle, will have been welcome, even in defeat.

Pulis said: "I thought Sol was smashing today, terrific. For a player who hasn’t played at this level for a long time, I thought his attitude was absolutely brilliant. He will be a good addition to Arsenal’s squad, not just on the pitch but around the place."
