Sol Campbell chant suspects found

The seven remaining suspects

A further seven Tottenham football fans suspected of abusive chanting aimed at Portsmouth's Sol Campbell have been identified by police.

The men will attend a police station in Hampshire to be questioned by officers after being identified in CCTV footage.

Police issued an appeal to trace 16 Tottenham fans following abuse aimed at the former Arsenal and England defender during a game with Spurs in September.

Two men were arrested on Wednesday but later released on bail until January.

They were a 28-year-old man from Ringwood, Hampshire, and a 36-year-old man from Wokingham, Berkshire.

Police said they were now keen to identify the remaining seven men.

They were captured on film during the match at Fratton Park and police said they had received "a steady stream of information and names" since the pictures were released on Wednesday.

The FA said it would ban for life any fans it could prove were involved.
