Harry Redknapp will name William Gallas as captain when he makes his debut for Tottenham today.

The controversial move will no doubt anger many Spurs fans given the Frenchman's Arsenal connections, with Gallas only recently having completed a move across north London.

But Redknapp has been impressed with Gallas' attitude in training, and said: 'He was a great signing. In the open market, he would have cost £8million or £10m I suppose. He played 70 minutes in the week and he was excellent. Just having watched him in training and a practice match, you can see how good he is.'

The Spurs boss should be warned though, Gallas hardly covered himself in glory as skipper of Arsenal. He was stripped the armband after publicly attacking his teammates, then staging a sit-down protest after a game at Birmingham.
