Gallas joining Tottenham
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
WILLIAM GALLAS is set to sign for Spurs - and instantly become a hate figure for Arsenal fans.
The free-agent former Gunners captain will have a medical and is due to sign a one-year deal over the weekend.
A pal said: "Apart from a few details, everything has been agreed and William will have a medical on Friday."
Gallas met Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp last night and asked for a two-year contract but only a year was on offer.
Redknapp was desperate to boost his defence due to the long-standing injury problems of Ledley King and Jonathan Woodgate.
Gallas, 33, will not be registered in time to face Stoke tomorrow or play in the crucial second leg of the Champions League qualifier against Young Boys with Spurs 3-2 down.
He was let go by Arsenal after refusing to accept a one-year deal that included a pay cut.
The ex-Chelsea centre-half suffered abuse from fans every time he went back to Stamford Bridge.
But that will be nothing compared to the reception he will get at the Emirates on November 21.
