Gareth Bale to Tottenham: A deadly trio in England’s top flight
By Varun Aithal
The transfer window is hitting its peak as all clubs try to wrap up their summer business quickly in a bid to have their full squad training together amid the season’s commencement.
Tottenham Hotspur have shifted their gears in the transfer market after Carlo Ancelotti defeated Jose Mourinho in Gameweek 1.
From nowhere near to signing a player following the two early summer additions of Matt Doherty and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Tottenham are in a position to complete the double capture of Sergio Reguilon and Gareth Bale from Real Madrid.
Gareth Bale is coming back to Tottenham. The agreement is getting closer - last details then the deal will be done. Bale already told to his teammates that he’s going to #THFC.

“This is the closest Gareth has been to leave, talks on-going”, also said his agent Barnett to BBC. ⚪️ https://t.co/r8sn5sVSdc
Talking about Bale’s situation, the right-winger was an outcast at the Santiago Bernabeu. The player was out of favor under Zinedine Zidane, despite being on high wages. It was one of the reasons behind Florentino Perez’s inability to find a potential suitor for the winger. Bale started in only 12 games for Los Blancos last season.
After a dismal season(s) for Gareth Bale in Spain, the player is on his way back to England. Bale moved to the Bernabeu in 2013 in a record-breaking deal. Along with Ronaldo and Benzema, the player has won many titles.
Since his first Champions League triumph with Real Madrid, the player was linked with a move back to the Premier League. Most of the time, it was to Manchester United. Moreover, this transfer window too, Bale was linked with a switch to Old Trafford but as a “Plan B” to Ole’s pursuit of Jadon Sancho.
