William Gallas has revealed the London club he most enjoyed playing for was Chelsea because he felt like the "King of England" at Stamford Bridge.

Gallas twice won the Premier League and League Cup titles during his five years at Chelsea between 2001 and 2006 before he moved to London rivals Arsenal and, following a four-year stint with Arsene Wenger's side, Tottenham.

The Frenchman admits he had a great time at all three clubs, but highlighted his time at Chelsea as his "most special" because of the titles he won in west London.

Speaking in the September 2017 issue of FourFourTwo magazine, Gallas said: "I liked all three, but maybe Chelsea was the most special time for me.

"It was my first club abroad and I had a great time there, winning a few trophies as well.

"And it was there that I first started my international career as well. When you are playing for a big club you expect to lift trophies.

"When I won the Premier League with Chelsea I felt like the King of England [Laughs]. You want to keep experiencing that."
