William Gallas turned up the heat on his row with Chelsea yesterday by demanding a £90,000-a-week new contract.

The Sun says the French ace has been offered a double-your-money £75,000-a-week deal but insists he wants the same as John Terry and Frank Lampard.
Chelsea are now prepared to let him rot in the reserves, with Gallas - currently on around £35,000 a week - then able to leave on a free next summer.
Gallas, 28, a £6.2million buy from Marseille in 2001, feels he is worth more as he is one of the Blues' key players.
Yet he has failed to impress boss Jose Mourinho with his attitude and did not turn up for the club's pre-season tour to the USA.
He is also furious with Mourinho for handing his No 13 shirt to new signing Michael Ballack.
