Off contract Arsenal defender William Gallas is set to move to Italy.

The Sunday Mirror says the Frenchman is set to leave Arsenal and his agents have held lengthy talks with Juventus and had contact from Roma.

With France facing elimination from the World Cup, their central defender could be free to clinch a move in days.

The stumbling block is the length of contract Gallas wants. Juventus are reluctant to grant a three-year deal to a player approaching his 33rd birthday and have offered two years.

But both sides claim agreement is within reach and Gallas is keen to settle his future as soon as possible.
