Ex-England defender could stay in the Premier League
Sol Campbell has confirmed he has Premier League offers on the table as he considers his future.
The former England international has left Newcastle after his one-year contract expired so is now a free agent.
The 36-year-old centre-back, whose wife recently gave birth to their first child, is currently weighing up his options.
And although he would like to sign a deal before the start of July, he may start pre-season training with a local club until he makes a decision.
"I'll do a pre-season with a London club - I'm not allowed to go anywhere else!" he told
Sky Sports News.
"I'd like to join someone by the beginning of July, to join up with the lads wherever I am."
Interest
Asked if any Premier League clubs had been in contact, he replied: "There's been a couple so we'll see."
In 2009/10, Campbell made an ill-fated move to Notts County, then of League Two.
Although he rejoined Arsenal for the second half of that season, he made just eight appearances for Newcastle last term.
And although the ex-Tottenham and Portsmouth defender believes he is fit enough to remain in the top flight, he insists he will only continue playing if the deal is right.
"I love playing football and that's what it's all about," he added.
Fit in
"I'll play another couple of years, a year - it depends on the manager and how you fit in really.
"I'm not going to play just for playing's sake - I've got to really enjoy it.
"I think a lot of players now are looking after their bodies well.
"Maybe 10 years ago, 30-year-olds might be saying 'I've had enough'.
"But now, especially with goalkeepers and players who have really looked after themselves - 35-plus, it's not a problem."
