		</div><p>Former Arsenal and Everton striker Kevin Campbell has died at the age of 54.</p>
<p>Campbell, a title winner with the Gunners and a hero at Goodison Park after saving the Toffees from relegation in 1999, was recently hospitalised with sepsis, it is understood.</p>
<p>Arsenal wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “We are devastated to learn that our former striker Kevin Campbell has died after a short illness.</p>
<p>“Kevin was adored by everyone at the club.</p>
<p>“All of us are thinking of his friends and family at this difficult time. Rest in peace, Kevin.”</p>
<p>Everton also paid tribute to Campbell on social media.</p>
<p>“Everyone at Everton is deeply saddened by the death of our former striker Kevin Campbell at the age of just 54,” the club said in a statement.</p>
<p>“Not just a true Goodison Park hero and icon of the English game, but an incredible person as well – as anyone who ever met him will know. RIP, Super Kev.”</p>
<p>Campbell began his career at Arsenal and made his way into the first-team at Highbury after a prolific junior scoring record, including a hat-trick in the Gunners’ 1988 FA Youth Cup win, and loan spells at Leicester and Leyton Orient.</p>
<p>He scored 59 goals in 224 games for Arsenal and, alongside the 1990-91 league title, also won the FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup.</p>
<p>Campbell spent three years at Nottingham Forest after joining them in 1995 and had a one-season stop at Trabzonspor before moving to Everton in 1999.</p>
<p>He stayed at Everton until 2005, where he spent time as captain under Walter Smith, and finished his career with spells at West Brom and Cardiff.</p>
<p>Tony Adams, Campbell’s former Arsenal teammate and captain, wrote on X: “Super Kev: a goal machine, a giant of a man, with an even bigger heart.</p>
<p>“An intensely private and a truly wonderful human being. I’m devastated for his loved ones, and all of us. Love you Super Kev, Skipper.”</p>
<p>The official England X account posted: “We are devastated to learn that Kevin Campbell has passed away aged 54.</p>
<p>“Kevin won four caps for our under-21s and represented our B team in the early 1990s. Our thoughts are with Kevin’s family, friends and loved ones.”</p>
<p>Forest wrote on X: “Everyone at Nottingham Forest is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Kevin Campbell.</p>
<p>“Kevin spent three seasons at #NFFC and was part of the side which earned promotion from the First Division as champions in 1998.</p>
<p>“Our thoughts are with his friends and family during this difficult time.”</p>
<p>Leicester and Cardiff, where Campbell ended his career in 2007, also paid tribute to their former striker.</p>
<p>The Premier League said: “We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Kevin Campbell, the former Arsenal, Nott’m Forest, Everton and West Brom striker</p>
<p>“Our thoughts and condolences are with Kevin’s family, friends and those associated with the clubs he played for.”</p>
<p>Campbell worked in the media after his playing career and fellow pundit Tony Cottee, another former Everton striker, wrote on X: “I am so devastated to hear the news of the passing of Kevin Campbell.</p>
<p>“The nicest man you could wish to meet and a fantastic player. Thoughts to his friends and family. RIP Kev.”</p>
<p>Former England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips said: “Really gutted to hear the sad news of Kevin Campbell passing.</p>
<p>“A fantastic goalscorer, but more importantly an even better human. What a gentleman. Thinking of Kevin’s friends and family today, you will be missed Kev. RIP.”</p>
<p>Campbell was a member of the Black Footballers Partnership, who work to increase the voice and influence of black footballers.</p>
<p>“Our condolences to his family and the people of Brixton, Lambeth who have lost one of their greatest sons,” the BFP said.</p>
<p>“Kevin meant so much to so many fans across the country – especially Arsenal, Everton, Nottingham Forest and Cardiff City who he played for in his stellar career.</p>
<p>“We are going to miss him dearly. May he rest in eternal peace. We love and will miss you Kevin.”</p>
