WILLIAM GALLAS plans to blast Chelsea and boss Jose Mourinho in a no-holds-barred TV interview.
Gallas, who moved to Arsenal on transfer deadline day, is still furious at claims by the Blues he would score an own goal if they did not let him leave.
And the France international defender has told pals the Premiership champions would not even let him say goodbye to his team-mates when he went to the training ground to clear out his locker.
Gallas, 29, said: “I want people to know the truth and the only way to do that is to go on TV.
“That way nothing can be misconstrued.”
Chelsea made their amazing claims last month after losing Gallas as part of the deal that took Ashley Cole to Chelsea.
The Blues claimed: “Gallas initially refused to play against Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final last season in an effort to force an increased contract offer.
“He refused to join up with the team in Los Angeles during pre- season, despite agreeing the dates for his return as the other World Cup players did.
“He went on to threaten that if he was forced to play, or disciplined and financially punished for his breach of the rules, he could score an own goal, get sent off or make deliberate mistakes.”
GallasÂ’ comments came as midfielder Lassana Diarra revealed he could quit Chelsea in JanuaryÂ’s transfer window.
French Under-21 star Diarra, 21, has had only two run-outs this season — as a substitute in the Community Shield against Liverpool and the league opener with Manchester City.
He said: “I’ll see how things are in January. If I have to leave I won’t have lost anything.”
