Former Gunners' captain Sol Campbell may return to his former club Arsenal, if only to work on his fitness.

Campbell, 35, walked out on a five-year contact with Notts County last month after just one game and has since spoken to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger about fitness training at his old club while he searches for a new employer.

"It will be great to train here and get fit," said the ex-England centre half, who left Arsenal in 2006.

"I've spoken to Arsene, hopefully we can get everything right and speak to the right people and get a couple of the physios and fitness guys to help me and train.

"My overall fitness is OK. But something else might happen before then."
The Magpies have not yet released Campbell from his contract and under Fifa rules he cannot join another club before January's transfer window.

However, the former England star is confident of returning to action before the new year.

Campbell will not be the first player to have trained with Arsenal while under contract with another club, with David Beckham having done so for a month in 2008 during the MLS off-season.
