Gallas on Leeds 'Rio replacement' list

Chelsea centre-back William Gallas is on Leeds’ shortlist of players to replace Rio Ferdinand and available for £7.5m (€11.8m), his agent revealed today.

Willie McKay disclosed United chairman Peter Ridsdale is mulling over a bid for the 24-year-old, who has a clause in his contract allowing him to leave for £1.5m (€2.4m) more than the £6m (€9.4m) he cost from Marseille last summer.
