One thing that is painstakingly evident during this summer’s transfer window is that Gareth Bale requires a new home.
The 30-year-old’s Real Madrid career may be coming to an end, but he still has a lot of good football left in him, despite the thoughts of Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, who has been clear in his intentions to move Bale on this summer.
Bale’s six years at Tottenham (2007-2013) were the beginning of his quick rise in the football world. Despite undergoing knee surgery in the summer of 2009, Bale scored a hat trick against Inter Milan in the 2010-11 UEFA Champions League, helping Spurs to reach the quarter-finals.
He also managed to grab PFA Player’s Player of the Year Award and BBC Wales’ Sports Personality of the Year Award in 2011.
During his 2012-13 season, he had arguably his best season with Spurs, scoring 21 goals, including one in the FA Cup, in just 31 appearances.
With Tottenham’s newly cemented place both in the Champions League and towards the top of the Premier League table, Bale would be able to return to England and relive his former glory.
Not to mention the fact that with the addition of Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon, and possibly Giovani Lo Celso from Spanish side Real Betis, coupled with a healthy Harry Kane, Spurs will be lining up a stellar midfield and attacking line, one that would only be made better by the addition of veteran winger Bale.
A Tottenham return for Bale would see him get first-team action at a club contending for the Premier League title and give him a chance to prove that he still has a couple of years of top-level football left in him, all with the club where he began his rise to football stardom.
