Ex-Arsenal captain William Gallas is set to have a medical with Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow, according to Sky Sports News.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has already confirmed him interest in bringing Gallas to White Hart Lane this summer but it now seems the deal have moved a step closer.
Gallas is available on a free transfer after leaving Arsenal at the end of last season after failing to agree a contract extension. The Gunners were sticking to their over 30’s policy by only offering the defender a one-year deal, while Gallas is looking for at least a two-year contract.
If Sky Sports reports are accurate, it may prove to be a controversial move for the 33-year-old France international. Although he was hardly held in Arsenal legendary status, the gunners faithful may still vent their anger at a former captain joining their bitter rivals.
It will also be interesting to see how the tottenham fans welcome Gallas should he make the move. Will they be happy to sign what may be seen as an Arsenal ‘reject’ or will they see this as getting one over their foes?
