Former Blue William Gallas played for Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham and has now revealed Chelsea are his favourite team of them all.

It was at Chelsea where Gallas had his most success and he has revealed that his Chelsea career boosted his reputation in the national team.

He told FourFourTwo Magazine: “I liked all three, but maybe Chelsea was the most special time for me. It was my first club abroad and I had a great time there, winning a few trophies as well.

“And it was there that I first started my international career as well. When you are playing for a big club you expect to lift trophies. When I won the Premier League with Chelsea I felt like the King of England. You want to keep experiencing that.”

The Frenchman won two Premier League titles and the League Cup with the Blues, for whom he made more than 200 outings after joining from Marseille in 2001.
