Gallas moves to the Emirates Stadium as part of the deal that saw Chelsea finally snap up Ashley Cole in possibly the longest running transfer saga ever.

Cole goes to Stamford Bridge for Stg5million plus Gallas, but according to The Daily Mirror, Mourinho is furious that such a deal was allowed to happen and felt 'undermined by Kenyon's decision to allow Gallas to join their bitter Premiership rivals against his wishes'.

The tabloid also states that the Blues boss 'was unhappy at the way he believes the French defender bullied Chelsea into letting him go.'

Mourinho is believed to have wanted to retain Gallas, despite the French defender's lack of interest in staying at the Bridge, and he is now believed to be furious that one of his big title rivals has a player who can form a formidable partnership with Kolo Toure and help Arsenal re-emerge as serious title rivals for Chelsea.

The Daily Mail adds that there have been several disagreements between Mourinho and Kenyon in the past few days with Mourinho apparently angry at Robert Huth being sold to Middlesbrough too early and at plans to sell England defender Wayne Bridge to Newcastle United.

The Mail adds: 'Mourinho did not want Huth to be sold before Cole was signed, and the pair also clashed over the proposed sale of Wayne Bridge to Newcastle. Bridge believed Chelsea had agreed to sell him after talks with Kenyon, but Mourinho wanted to keep him as cover for Cole.'</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Chelsea have consulted lawyers after allegations of a bust-up involving manager Jose Mourinho and chief executive Peter Kenyon over the sale of William Gallas to Arsenal.

The transfer was concluded just minutes before the midnight deadline on transfer-deadline day, with Chelsea paying Arsenal £5million plus Gallas in exchange for Cole. The Blues maintain Mourinho's relationship with Kenyon is strong and the pair were in constant contact throughout yesterday as efforts to bring Cole to Chelsea gathered pace. Gallas, who irked the Chelsea coach by failing to join up with the squad on their pre-season tour of America, had been omitted from the first team this season. Mourinho, with Kenyon's agreement, was prepared to let the defender play solely reserve team football for the final year of his contract if they could not engineer a sale which suited the Blues - however disruptive that might have been for the squad. Chelsea were not prepared to sell Gallas outright to Arsenal, or any other club for that matter, as the club would have been perceive that outcome to be a victory for the 29-year-old. Clearly the best solution for the Blues was to be rid of the player, in a deal they were happy with and their player-plus cash agreement with Arsenal for
