Gareth Bale has rejoined Tottenham on loan from Spanish giants, Real Madrid.

The Wales captain has reportedly returned to Premier League, seven years after joining Madrid from Tottenham Hotspurs in what was a world-record £86m transfer.

The 31-year-old flew to London on Friday after completing a medical in Madrid, with Spurs agreeing to pay about £20m in wages and loan fees.

“It’s nice to be back. It’s such a special club for me where I made my name, what an amazing club with amazing fans, it’s incredible to be back,” Bale told the club’s website.

“Hopefully now I can get some match fitness, get underway and really help the team to win trophies.

“I am hungry and motivated to do well for the team. I can’t wait to get started.

“By going to Madrid and winning trophies, and going far with the Wales national team, I have got that winning mentality.

“You don’t realise until you are there in finals and those situations. Hopefully I can bring belief into everybody that we can win trophies. The target is to do that this season, I want to bring that mentality back to Tottenham.

“Since I have left the club has been building, the stadium is incredible, the training ground is better than before. It’s an exciting time,” the Wales captain stated.
