Gareth Bale Completes the Move

We recently report that Gareth Bale, among the most exciting footballers on the planet; is reuniting with Tottenham. He last played for the English side in 2013 and will be returning a changed player, the same way that The Spurs aren’t the same.

After a long, cold-shoulder at Real Madrid from Zidane, Bale is eager to show that he still has a skill set of note. While Spurs aren’t the same side they were seven years ago. Mourinho has a point to prove with his squad as they need to redeem themselves from their loss to Everton.
