REPORT: Jose Mourinho Targeting Gareth Bale for Tottenham Hotspur Return
A Return to Tottenham is a Match Made in Heaven for Gareth Bale
It is no secret that Gareth Bale is looking to leave Real Madrid. He is not the preferred choice on the wing for Zinedine Zidane and was told that he could leave during the summer. After Wales qualified for UEFA Euro 2020 on Tuesday, he was pictured holding a flag that read ‘Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order.’
As a result, the Welsh winger is now exploring his options, and a return to Tottenham under Mourinho could be a match made in heaven. The 30-year-old made the move to Real Madrid in 2013 after being adored by fans at Tottenham. His last season at White Hart Lane saw him score 21 times in 33 appearances.
However, another reason why it is a such a good match is because Jose Mourinho is reportedly a big admirer of Gareth Bale. According to AS, Mourinho tried to sign Bale when he was the manager of Manchester United. Now, as a result, he looks to reignite his interest in the Madrid winger.
Testing Times Ahead for Jose Mourinho at Tottenham
Jose Mourinho is now pitched with testing times at Tottenham as he takes over from Mauricio Pochettino. The pressure is on for him to get his new side winning as soon as possible, in the hope that they can push for a Champions League spot.
