According to Skysport, Tottenham Hotspur are close to signing Gareth Bale from Real Madrid on loan with a deal in principle set to be agreed for the Welsh Super star in the region of £20million in wages and loan fees.
Tottenham Hotspur FC’s boss Jose Mourinho have made it clear that he wanted to sign Gareth Bale for Real Madrid during his time there but unfortunately the deal did not happen but the Madrid hierarchy will later go on to sign the player after he left the club.
A lot of media outlets are reporting that agreement have being reached between both parties involved including the player who wants to leave Madrid right now, after he was reduced to a bit part player in the last couple of season’s under Head coach, Zinindine Zidane.
From the above screenshot, the message is clear, Bale have phoned Mourinho telling him of how special Tottenham Hotspur is to him, hence, a move is certainly on cards.
Also, according to popular Skysport Reporter, Fabrizio Romano, in one of his tweet via his verified Tweeter handle (screenshot above), reported that Gareth is getting closer to a move to Tottenham Hotspur a club he last represented before joining Spanish giants, Real Madrid.
With a move to Tottenham looming for the Welshman, what sort of player are Tottenham Hotspur getting if he finally makes the switch. This is what we intend to analyze in this article.
1. Tottenham Hotspur are landing a serial winner
Bale’s time at Real Madrid might not be coming to a perfect closure but one thing that is certain is that the player is a serial winner with the perfect mentality that Tottenham Hotspur FC boss, Jose Mourinho is looking to inculcate into this new look Tottenham Hotspur team.
Mourinho is a guaranteed winner, after his exploits with Porto that saw him lift the Champions League in 2004 alongside the League title, he won at Chelsea several trophies over two spells and won the UEFA Champions League with Inter Milan. He also won the La Liga and Copa del Rey with Real Madrid and the UEFA Europa League with Manchester United, right now he wants to win trophies with this Tottenham Hotspur side.
We know that winning trophies is not just down to a coach with a good mentality such as Mourinho himself, players like Bale who have now become addicted to winning just like Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos are needed to motivate others and bring out top performances like the one we saw against Inter Milan in 2012 and Barcelona in 2013.
Bale have won the following trophies during his time with Real Madrid;
He won La Liga twice, the Copa del Rey once and the Supercopa twice.
He was part of the Real side that won the UEFA Champions League three times on a row making it 4 Champions League titles for the player since joining the Spanish Giants.
He won the UEFA SuperCup three times and also the FIFA Club World Cup on four different occasions.
Question: Can he now add a Premier League title to his impressive collection under Mourinho?
2. With Bale Goals and Assists are guaranteed
Bale might not have played much games under Zidane in the last two years, partly due to his injuries and a some what misunderstanding between the player and the Real Madrid hierarchy but one thing that is certain is that when Bale takes to the pitch he often gives his all (goals and assists) for the team he plays for. Below are some interesting numbers racked up by the Wales Captain.
251 Games
⚽️105 Goals
🅰️68 Assists
3. Passion for the Club
Clubs no longer sign players who do not have any sort of connection with the club, this could be seen in the case of Carlos Tevez who after his time in China came to an end claimed he was only on holidays.
Bale who started his career with Southampton as a left back was given the right platform to horn out his skill in the Premier League and remains a lover of the White Hart Lane.
Such love for the Club will certainly inspire Bale to provide top performances for the team and Jose Mourinho.
Congratulations to Tottenham Hotspur if they are able to get a deal over the line. Is there any need for excitement in North London right now? Certainly, there is a need for excitement but only and only if Bale can stay fit all season.
If he can stay fit, Tottenham Hotspur might just have the opportunity to win a Trophy this season, whether its the Europa League, Carabao cup, the FA cup or the Premier League. In the meantime our hands are crossed as we watch on as events unfold.
Question: Do you think Tottenham Hotspur will be stronger with Bale joining the likes of Kane and Son in attack?
