Theo Walcott calls for Sol Campbell to have a STATUE outside the Emirates for what he has done for Arsenal as he insists the iconic defender is right up there with club legends like Thierry Henry

Theo Walcott believes Sol Campbell deserves to have a statue built outside the Emirates Stadium for everything he achieved at Arsenal.

Campbell shocked the world in 2001 when he left boyhood club Tottenham on a free before making the highly-controversial short trip across north London to join arch-rivals Arsenal.

The move garnered Campbell so much hate from the Spurs fans that he is still often vilified to this day for making the switch 20 years ago.

However, the move turned out to be the correct one for Campbell and Arsenal, with the defender going on to win two Premier League titles and two FA Cups during a five-year stint at the club.
