William Eric Gallas (-frwiljam ɡalas; born 17 August 1977) is a French footballer who plays for Tottenham Hotspur.

Gallas began his career in France, before being signed by English club Chelsea in 2001. He transferred to rivals Arsenal as part of an exchange deal in 2006. While his career has been marked by both individual and team successes � including Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006 � he has also encountered controversy as a consequence of his on-field behaviour and friction with other personnel. In 2007, he was named Arsenal's captain, but was removed from the role during the 2008 � 09 season after criticising teammates in a media interview. Gallas left Arsenal at the end of the 2009 � 10 season, when his contract expired.

Fàbregas started his career as a trainee with Barcelona but was signed by Arsenal in September 2003, aged just 16 years. He did not feature much in his first season for The Gunners, but following injuries to key midfielders in the 200405 season, his playing time increased. Before long, he had established himself as Arsenal's starting central midfielder and playmaker. He went on to break several of the club's records, earning a reputation as a technically gifted player. In international football, the Spaniard's national career began when he represented the winning Under-17 side at the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Finland. As a result of his club performances, he was called up to the senior squad in 2006. He has played in the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008, where he helped Spain to become eventual winners in the latter.The 200708 season began with much uncertainty for Arsenal.

There was also speculation over Wenger's future with the club.Fàbregas knew that he would become the most important player for Arsenal, but stated he was ready for the challenge.
