Claudio Ranieri has admitted he would love William Gallas to come and play for him again at Roma.

Ranieri brought Gallas to the Premier League during his time in charge at Chelsea and has followed his career with interest.

The French defender enjoyed success at Stamford Bridge before moving to Arsenal in 2006 as part of the deal that took Ashley Cole the opposite way.

The 32 year-old has gone through some difficult times with the Gunners, being stripped of the captaincy in November 2008, but remains an important member of the team.

However, he will be out of contract at the end of the season and Arsenal have the policy of offering only a one-year extension to players over 30 years of age.

Reports suggest Roma are monitoring the situation, with officials from the Serie A club already holding talks with the player's advisor Pierre Frelot

And Ranieri has made it clear that a player of Gallas' quality would fit in well at Roma.

"Gallas is a player who has achieved so much in his career," said the manager.

"I signed him when I was in charge at Chelsea and he has done well both for them and Arsenal.

"He is a top-level player and all top players are welcome at Roma."

Bordeaux striker Marouane Chamakh accepts he faces a massive challenge in moving to Arsenal next season.

Chamakh has agreed a five-year £50,000-a-week contract with Arsenal and will move to the Emirates this summer.

Moroccan centre forward Chamakh said: “I have always wanted to play in the Premier League and any striker wants to meet that challenge and play in the league.

“I am prepared for a move even though I am completely focused on helping my current club. That is more important than my personal situation.

“It is not easy in England but the challenge in my career has always been to learn every day, keep improving and always help my club to success.”

Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas: I've been lucky to escape serious injury
Cesc Fabregas accepts being physical is part of the English game, but feels he has been lucky to escape the type of serious injury suffered by team-mate Aaron Ramsey.



Ramsey, 19, fractured his right tibia and fibula in a challenge with Ryan Shawcross during the second half of Arsenal's 3-1 victory at Stoke last weekend.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger condemned the tackle as "horrendous and unacceptable" after seeing another of his players suffer an horrific injury.


Eduardo spent the best part of a year on the sidelines when his season was ended by a challenge from Birmingham defender Martin Taylor in 2008.

Midfielder Abou Diaby, who was sidelined for eight months with a broken ankle after a challenge from Sunderland's Dan Smith in May 2006, feels such incidents will continue unless the Arsenal players get more protection from referees.

Fabregas is often on the end of some robust challenges and believes the Gunners have to stand up to rough treatment from teams looking to knock them off their passing game.

"Everyone thinks 'We are playing Arsenal, we have to go in hard on them', and I have no problem with the contact game," the Arsenal captain said.

"If opponents think that is the best way for them to beat us, no problem, but when you put your foot half a metre high on someone's leg, that is not right.

"It is not the first time this season we have seen challenges like this, but until someone breaks their leg no-one speaks about it.

"It has happened twice to me this season and I was lucky I did not get badly injured.

"I am sure he [Shawcross] did not want to break Aaron's leg, but the tackle was dangerous. It was terrible.

"I am sure he wanted to win the ball, but when your foot is that high only he knows what he was trying to do."

Fabregas scored the opening goal in Arsenal's 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley yesterday, but was taken off before half-time with a hamstring problem and is now doubtful for the Champions League game with Porto on Tuesday night.

i love youuuuuu rambo
