Gallas: I want to leave Chelsea

Video Safari

Chelsea defender William Gallas has again declared he wants out of Stamford Bridge.

Gallas, 28, appears in no mood to compromise - and insists Chelsea are still blocking his move to another club.
He told French TV last night: "I want to leave Chelsea but it's not just down to me.
"Chelsea absolutely want me to stay with them. We have to keep discussing, talking."
Gallas, who has a year left on his Stamford Bridge contract, revealed in May he wanted to quit the Bridge.
He was frozen out by Jose Mourinho after failing to make the trip to the States, claiming he was too tired after the World Cup.
The Blues boss responded by telling Gallas to train on his own and with the club's reserves. He also handed the defender's No 13 shirt to new signing Michael Ballack.
