Redknapp urges fans to give Gallas a chance

Gallas, 33, is on the brink of crossing the north London divide after agreeing a one-year contract with Spurs, with a medical the only stumbling block to his signing.

But passing that test could end up being child’s play compared to winning over his new club’s supporters, who have been almost conditioned to jeer the former Gunners and Chelsea defender over the last decade.
