Blues determined to keep want-away Gallas

CHELSEA face the prospect of rebuilding their defence during the summer despite underlining their determination to keep centre-half William Gallas at Stamford Bridge.

Gallas has made it clear he wants to quit the club but Chelsea, who have offered the French defender a new four-year contract, are in no mood to allow him to walk away.

Chelsea are determined to hold the player to his current contract, which still has one year left to run, and in doing so run the risk of letting him leave for nothing next summer.
