Arsenal today completed the signing of England defender Sol Campbell.
The 26-year-old ex-Tottenham skipper has agreed a four-year-deal with the Gunners after moving across north London on a free transfer.
Campbell - whose Spurs contract expired last Sunday - had been expected to move to either Inter Milan or Barcelona.
He turned down a new deal at White Hart Lane after Tottenham refused to meet his wage demands.
Arsenal are also expected to complete the £6 million signing of Ipswich goalkeeper Richard Wright this week.
The England star will move to Highbury after the Suffolk club snapped up keeper Andy Marshall from local rivals Norwich.
Wright, 23, will increase the pressure on current England and Arsenal stopper keeper David Seaman.
Seaman, 37, struggled for consistency last season and now faces a tough challenge to retain his place.
Wright played a major part in Ipswich's success last term when the club finished fifth in the Premiership and qualified for the UEFA Cup.
