William Gallas Prefers Watching Tottenham Over Arsenal, Would Pay for Season Ticket at Former Club

The former France international is known for his blunt assessments of the game, and his recent comments on Mikel Arteta's Arsenal team may have ruffled some feathers among the club's fans.

The Gunners have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions, drawing blanks in defeats to Newcastle and Inter and attracting some unwanted attention for their struggles in attack.

Gallas says Spurs are best value for supporters

And Gallas has admitted that, of his former clubs, Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs are now the easiest on the eye.

Asked which of his old teams he would most like a season ticket for, Gallas told Prime Casino: “Oh, that’s a horrible question because at the moment, Arsenal are not playing well.

“Chelsea are improving, but they still have a long way to go. If I had to pick a team right now to watch, then it would be Tottenham.

“When you see a game like this, you just want to be in the stadium, and if you were there, you would see so many opportunities to score goals.

“Last weekend, Tottenham was maybe the best team in London. Chelsea did well, they drew against Man Utd. After the last game, I would choose a season ticket at Tottenham.”

Since Gallas’ comments, though, Tottenham have fallen to an unexpected 2-1 loss to Ipswich, while Arsenal earned a commendable draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

While Spurs may be the great entertainers, there will be some pressure building as they travel to Manchester City after the international break, sitting 10th in the Premier League. Arsenal, meanwhile, host Nottingham Forest next.
