Former Chelsea, Arsenal now Tottenham Hotspurs defender William Gallas in wife row cop probe

A witness told cops he saw the £3.2million-a-year French defender, 35, having a slanging match with wife Nadege in front of their home. Nadege, 31, fell into the hedge and an ambulance was called to take her to hospital for treatment.

Shocked Peter Lenczuk, 38, said: “They were arguing, but I couldn’t understand because it was in French.

“Then I saw her fall into the bushes.”

The witness said Nadege had arrived at the house in her car early in the morning and shouted at her husband from the front door.

Gallas then came out and began yelling back at her. Read more after the cut 

A group of builders working next door also saw the incident. One of the men, who asked not to be named, said he shouted at Gallas to stop but was ignored.

“It was really horrible,” he added.

Gallas followed his wife to hospital and drove her back to the luxury home in Hampstead, North London, in his Jeep hours later. Shielding his wife from a photographer, he led her into the house before driving off again.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea star married Nadege in France in 2009.

The couple, who first met as teenagers, have two children aged six and four.

He also has an 11-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

Gallas refused to comment to The Sun on the incident.

Police confirmed they had received a complaint of a “domestic incident” close to the couple’s address.

A spokesman said: “Inquiries continue and there have been no arrests.”

In 2008 Gallas was removed as Arsenal captain after criticising team-mates. He left Arsenal in 2010 and joined Tottenham.
