Inside Sol Campbell’s incredible mansion as he knocks £10 MILLION off the price
SOL Campbell’s has cut £10 million from the price of its incredible eight-bedroom mansion.
The ex-Arsenal and England player, 49, put the Grade II listed mansion in Chelsea, west London, on the market for £25 million in 2021.

He first reduced the price of the six-storey home in September 2022 after allegedly being cheated out of £1.5 million in rent.
Sol was forced to go to court to obtain an eviction notice after a tenant failed to pay rent.
He is believed to have owned the property since 2004, with then-wife of interior designer Fiona Barrett later extensively redesigning the house.
But with the mansion still for sale three years after it was put on the market, Sol has now reduced the asking price to £15 million.
The beautiful property contains six bedrooms in the main house, along with a separate two-bedroom mews house, accessed via an underground passageway.
It also boasts an incredible drawing room, cinema, library, kitchen and lift, as well as views over the River Thames and Albert Bridge.
On the market with Knight Frank, the property description adds: “A Grade II listed townhouse, overlooking the river, which has been extensively renovated with excellent interior design to create an elegant and substantial London home.
“With secure access from the front, a walled garden and further protection provided by the mews house to the rear, this is a private and secure home offering discretion and a sense of tranquility throughout.”
The mansion is located in the exclusive Cheyne Walk street, previously home to the likes of George Best, Keith Richard and Mick Jagger, reports The Mirror.
But the footballer, who also played for Tottenham Hotspur and captained Portsmouth to the FA Cup in 2008, has a mixed history with his former homeland.
Sol was seething after a rental dispute with a tenant two years ago.
He claimed to have received a deposit and three months’ rent from a businessman who had just sold his insurance company for £1 billion, but received no further payments.
Since retiring as a player, Sol has embarked on managerial spells at Macclesfield and Southend.
But he also has a stunning property empire worth a whopping £50 million, and his own furniture company with wife Fiona.
Along with the Chelsea mansion, he is said to own the nine-bedroom Hallington Hall in Northumberland, as well as a luxury penthouse in west London.
Representatives of the ex-footballer have been contacted for comment.
