Report: Former Arsenal and Spurs player predicts a North London title race next season
Ex-Arsenal defender, William Gallas, has tipped Tottenham to go close to winning the title next season, but has Arsenal as his favourites to win the trophy.
Gallas has been previewing the upcoming season
46-year-old, William Gallas, has been speaking to Give Me Sport regarding the ongoing European Championships as well as discussing the prospects of all three of his former London teams; Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham.
When Gallas joined Tottenham in the summer of 2010, he became the first man to play senior football for all three bitter rivals, Chelsea, Arsenal and then Tottenham.
Gallas is seemingly upbeat about both Arsenal and Tottenham’s hopes ahead of the 2024/25 season, tipping the two teams to both go close to winning the Premier League title, although the former France international believes the Gunners will be the team to lift the trophy.
Chelsea were the only team out of Gallas’ three former Premier League sides that the player criticised, as he claimed the ownership at Stamford Bride ‘hasn’t started well’, citing ‘too much change’ to be a key issue so far.
It’s not the first time Gallas has been optimistic about Spurs
Gallas tipped Tottenham to be a lot better than they were last season, claiming that Ange Postecoglou would know what he has to change to progress his side, even going as far as to claim that Spurs will be competitive and although Tottenham ‘might not win it, but they would be close’.
The ex-Chelsea defender has been incredibly positive about Tottenham in the past too, stating when he joined Spurs back in 2010 that the club could ‘win the league’ that season, despite Redknapp’s men finishing 5th come the end of the campaign. (BBC Sport)
Arsenal were Gallas’ favourites to win the title though as the Frenchman claimed, ‘they have great players’ and despite Gallas acknowledging the Gunners’ mistakes in previous seasons and the requirement of one or two more signings, he stated ‘they will be champions next season’.
Spurs Web Opinion
William Gallas will always have an interesting perspective on the London clubs after manoeuvring himself into a unique position of having crossed the capital’s divides three times.
Although tipping Tottenham for a title push does seem perhaps over the top from Gallas and perhaps is reminiscent of his statement in 2010, Spurs are still majorly an unknown quantity for next season, with many exits possible and a few deals already signed, it’s hard to tell what shape Postecoglou’s team will take next season.
