Sol Campbell's desire to become a politician has taken a step further after it was revealed that he has been urged to stand for London Mayor in 2016.
The 40-year-old former England international is wanted by senior Conservative MPs to replace Boris Johnson in a year's time when the process begins after the General Election in May.
Campbell met Tory chairman Grant Shapps in December to discuss possible candidacy but speaking to the Sun he admitted a decision has yet to be made on his behalf.
However, the ex-Tottenham and Arsenal defender did outline his intentions as London Mayor if he did stand for that position.
'We'll see what happens. A few conversations have to take place,'he said.
'I'm London through and through. It's about getting more of the wealth in central London to help the boroughs.'
Stratford-born Campbell also believes there should be more ethic minorities represented in Parliament.
