SYDNEY: French defender William Gallas yesterday joined Perth Glory in Australia’s A-League after being released by English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal star said he was looking forward to the challenge, opting for Perth despite reported interest from Manchester City, Crystal Palace and clubs in the Middle East and America.
“I look forward to wearing with pride the jersey of Perth Glory for this season,” he said in a statement after agreeing to a one-year deal, subject to a medical.
“I hope to help my new team mates and club achieve success in this season and hope to help deliver to the fans of Perth the championship they are looking for.” AFP
