SOL CAMPBELL is close to move to Sunderland

SOL CAMPBELL is close to completing a shock switch to Sunderland.

The former England stopper, 35, is available on a free after spending the second half of last season at Arsenal.
And after a move to Celtic failed to materialise, Mackems boss Steve Bruce has moved quickly to shore up his defence.
Campbell has begun talks and Bruce hopes to finalise a deal today.
The former Spurs and Gunners ace favours a move to the North East with fiancee Fiona Barratt based in Northumberland.
His advisors tried to get him a move to Newcastle last term after an ill-fated spell at Notts County but Toon would not meet his demands.
But after Lorik Cana was sold yesterday to Galatasaray for £5.5million and with owner Ellis Short continuing to bankroll the Black Cats, Bruce has been able to satisfy his £40,000 wage request.
Albanian powerhouse Cana wanted the move to be closer to his family.
It is a blow for Bruce. He said: "His attitude made him a natural choice as captain but when he came back for pre-season it became clear he wanted to be closer to his family in Albania."
Cana, 26, said: "It has not been an easy decision. I hope people understand."
