Gallas looking forward to clash with former Arsenal team-mate Henry

Tottenham defender William Gallas has expressed excitement over coming face-to-face with former Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry when Spurs meet New York Red Bulls on Wednesday.

The pair both graduated from the famed Clairefontaine academy and formed part of the France squad which won the 2003 Confederations Cup.

And, with the duo set to be reunited as Andre Villas-Boas’ men continue their American tour, Gallas revealed their long-standing friendship.

“It will be nice to see [Henry] again,” Gallas told Goal.com after Tottenham’s 0-0 draw against Liverpool on Saturday.
