Tottenham have announced that Sol Campbell has rejected their latest offer to keep him at the club.

The north London club have conceded the England defender will be leaving this summer and he is expected to start negotiating with other interested clubs next week.

Campbell is out of contract on July 1 and has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

His decision comes as a huge blow to Spurs, who today re-signed Campbell's international colleague, Teddy Sheringham, on a free transfer from Manchester United.
