Gallas set for Spurs switch - Report

Former Arsenal captain William Gallas will have a medical at White Hart Lane on Friday ahead of a move to Tottenham, acccording to reports. Harry Redknapp has already confirmed his admiration for the 33-year-old, who left Arsenal when his contract expired at Emirates Stadium at the end of last season.Italian giants Juventus and Panathinaikos are amongst a number of continental clubs to hold talks with the former Chelsea star.But it now appears that Spurs could be ready to pounce for Gallas and talks are believed to be at an advanced stage.Gallas is due to have a medical on Friday, with a view to completing a move to White Hart Lane over the weekend.The former Chelsea centre-back's wage demands - reportedly £80,000 per week - were thought to have been behind his departure from the Emirates Stadium.But they have not put off Redknapp, who said last week: "His wages aren't a problem. He has not been greedy at all."His people have rung up and we spoke about it."Redknapp also shrugged off any controversy there could be from Gallas moving directly from Arsenal to Spurs,The Spurs boss added: "He's been an Arsenal player but he was at Chelsea before that and playing abroad before he arrived there."It's not like we would be signing Tony Adams. He's a good player and he would be a very useful addition to our squad."With Jonathan Woodgate still out with a long-term groin injury and captain Ledley King plagued by knee problems that have the potential to limit his playing time, Redknapp has been keen to bolster his defensive resources.
