Sol Campbell hints at Portsmouth exit

Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell has admitted he is considering leaving the south coast outfit over the club's lack of stability.

The former England centre-back's contract expires this summer and he could follow Sean Davis - who has joined Bolton Wanderers - in leaving the Fratton Park side.

Portsmouth secured Premier League safety under caretaker manager Paul Hart last season but are without a permanent manager while millionaire Sulaiman Al-Fahim looks to complete his takeover of the club.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, 34-year-old Campbell admitted the organisational turmoil at Fratton Park had left him considering his future.

"There's a few options out there," he told Sky Sports News. "I'm out of contract and I'm going to listen to different offers.

"With Portsmouth they have to organise themselves and there's a lot of things happening there. I want to make the right choice. In the next two to three years I want to be in the right situation.

"The chairman, the manager and people like that, I like them to be really close together to move the club on. At the moment with Portsmouth it just seems there're a lot of things in the background."

He added: "It may resolve itself, I don't know, but for me, as a player, I want to be in the right environment. For at least the next two years, the right environment to be successful."

While Davis joined Bolton yesterday, Portsmouth also released Noe Pamarot, Lauren, Glen Little, Djimi Traore and Jerome Thomas.
