After reports emerged that Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale was a top target for several clubs across Europe, including in the Australian league, it looks as though he could be set to stay at Madrid for the coming season. The Wales international winger spent last season in the English Premier League on loan at Tottenham Hotspur where he made a great impression even though he was not allowed to play in as many games as he would have loved to under former Spurs manager José Mourinho. Bale's time at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium was quite a mixed one and even after scoring a couple of goals for the London club, they decided against signing him permanently.

Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has his future up in the air and is still not sure of where he will be playing his football next season, according to several reports. The Wales international midfielder is currently on loan at the Tottenham Hotspot Stadium from Real Madrid and only signed for the London club in the summer after falling out with Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.

Bale's decision to leave the Santiago Bernabeu for Spurs temporarily in the summer was aided by his desire to play more minutes of football, but he has not actually played in as many games as he would have wanted. Tottenham manager José Mourinho has sparingly used him in Premier League games this season and has preferred him more in Europa League fixtures instead - something the player himself is not very happy with.
