Keown calls for Gallas to commit

FORMER Arsenal defender Martin Keown has called on William Gallas to commit his future to the club by signing a new one-year deal.

Gallas, 32, is determined to sign a two-year extension to his current deal, but Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will not shift from his policy of offering one-year deals for players in their 30s.

Keown, who had eight successful years under Wenger at the club, has told Gallas he must acknowledge that he will not be offered a two-year deal — and admits the 32-year-old could leave north London this summer.
