Tottenham Grabs Gallas

Former Arsenal defender William Gallas is getting set to join Tottenham Hotspur. Not a far move for the 30-year old; he will be staying in North London. Gallas, for his own sake, better not make any crucial mistakes in his first couple Tottenham outings. Fans already know he has one strike against him for being a former Arsenal player.

This was a free transfer for Spurs because Gallas' contract was up at Arsenal. Gallas is reportedly going to undergo a medical assessment tomorrow, before officially joining Tottenham over the weekend. It is not yet clear on the terms of the contract.

Gallas will surely help solidify the Tottenham back line. He has been a world class defender for years, but will his age start to catch up with him. At 33, he is no longer in his prime. Most players start to decline when they turn 30. Tottenham are hoping that Gallas still has some good years left.
