Tottenham manager hails William Gallas as one of ‘signings of the season’ as club offer defender new deal
William Gallas is close to agreeing a new deal with Tottenham after the free transfer from Arsenal last summer has turned out to be one of the “signings of the season” according to manager Harry Redknapp.

Gallas has been inspirational in Tottenham Hotspur’s assault on the top four of the Premier League and incredible run to the Champions League quarter-finals, where they will meet real madrid.
The Frenchman is already close to completing the 30 games this season that would automatically trigger another year in his contract but such is the value he has proved to the side that Redknapp is keen to reward him.
“The chairman’s doing a deal,” said Redknapp.
“William fully deserve it, he has been top class. He’s a nice man, a quiet man who just gets on with it.
“He could have gone abroad during the summer and made money, but the deal he did with us was an awful lot less than he was on at Arsenal.
“he has been one of the signings of the season. He has been magnificent for us and ha splayed nearly all the games.”
Meanwhile, Redknapp insists that there isn’t a price that would make him part with midfielder Luka Modric.
The Croatian has attracted interest from Inter Milan and Manchester United but Redknapp maintains his player is not for sale at any price.
“I wouldn’t want to sell him for £100m – not even a billion,” said Redknapp.
