I had Juventus, I told them &#8216;no&#8217; because my family came first. I wanted to stay in London. PSG also wanted me to sign for them. I did not want to go there.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So people should stop talking nonsense like William Gallas had no club and at the last moment he found Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, it&#8217;s just that William Gallas wanted to stay in London for his family. I have four children and I think about my family first. And Tottenham was a good opportunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gallas also said he will &#8220;give everything&#8221; for the club to qualify for the Champions League again next season.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;We are fifth in the Premier League and our target is to qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tottenham has to be big, I play with big players. It will be very important to be in the Champions League next season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So I will do my best to give everything for the fans because they deserve it. They are unbelievable. Like I say, Tottenham has to be big.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>        <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/3b4e10aebeacon.dll_54.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>More here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.goal.com\/en-gb\/news\/2896\/premier-league\/2011\/03\/11\/2389541\/william-gallas-reveals-he-turned-down-offers-from-juventus\" title=\"William Gallas reveals he turned down offers from Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain to join Tottenham\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">William Gallas reveals he turned down offers from Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain to join Tottenham<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> By Danny Hart 11 Mar 2011 11:39:00 Premier League : William Gallas (Tottenham) &#8211; (Panoramic) Related Links Teams Players Tottenham defender William Gallas says he rejected moves to Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain last summer before moving to White Hart Lane. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-301108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
