Gallas to quit the Bridge?

William Gallas has revealed to the News of the World that he’s unsure whether he’ll be at Chelsea next season.

The French international told the Sunday tabloid that he wants a new challenge and dreams of ending his career at AC Milan.

He said: “I have to admit I don’t know if I’ll be at Chelsea next season.

“I have six months left to take my decision but I’m 28 years old, and maybe it’s time for me to look elsewhere.

“Maybe I need a new challenge. I’ve been at Chelsea since 1999 and of course I’ve enjoyed it.

“But I’ve got five or six more years before the end of my career and the choice I have to make is a huge one.

“There are some massive clubs out there who might prove tempting to me.

“I remember when a France team-mate told me once: ‘When you wear the AC Milan shirt, it shows you have succeeded.’ That makes you think.”
