arsenal news:sene Wenger, “The partnership between Gallas and Vermaelen has gelled more quickly than I expected”

Arsenal defender William Gallas is enjoying a very solid season with the Gunners despite having to quickly adapt to a new partner at the back, after the departure of Kolo Toure.

Speaking of the Frenchman, manager Arsene Wenger highlighted how well the 32-year old is performing and also revealed he never expected the former captain to click so quickly with his new colleague.

Wenger said:

William Gallas has had a fine start to the season, which is down to both his attitude and the quality of the player.

it can happen that any player has highs and lows in his career, but I must say his form now is a consequence of the way he behaves every day.

He behaves 100 per cent as a professional and is highly focused in training.

The partnership between William and Thomas Vermaelen has gelled more quickly than I expected. This is for two reasons, first of all, Vermaelen adapted faster, and secondly William fits more comfortably on the right side of a central defence than on the left.
