‘Come on Levy’, ‘So unreal’ – Some Spurs fans react as the club closes in on 85-cap Int’l
Tottenham have apparently agreed on a loan deal for Gareth Bale. The 31-year-old has fallen out of favour at Real Madrid and he has been heavily linked with a move back to the Premier League. It seems that Spurs are closing in on his signing this summer. According to Daily Record, the London club have secured an agreement with Real Madrid for the player. Bale needs a move in order to resurrect his career and a return to his former club could do wonders to his confidence. He is adored at Tottenham and it could help him regain his form and sharpness. Also, the 85-cap Welsh international is likely to play every week at Spurs and that will certainly help. Jose Mourinho needs to add goals, pace and flair to his side and Bale would be a tremendous upgrade on the likes of Erik Lamela. It will be ...
Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly sacrifice midfielder to sign ‘special talent’
According to The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur are open to including Dele Alli in a deal to sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window. It has been reported that Bale is open to returning to the Premier League this summer.

‘£20m on a spare CB’ – Phil Hay provides update on Leeds’ defensive transfer plans
Leeds United kicked off life back in the English top-flight with a 4-3 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, and head coach Marcelo Bielsa wouldn’t have been delighted with his side’s defensive performance. Summer arrival Robin Koch put in a great shift despite mistakenly gifting the hosts a penalty, and it’s safe to say that Ben White wasn’t greatly missed. Leeds are still looking to sign another centre-back and have been linked with Manchester United’s Axel Tuanzebe and Dinamo Zagreb centre-back Josko Gvardiol. The latter appears closer to a move to Elland Road, but nothing has been heard about the deal of recent. According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds are still very much keen on the 18-year-old and talking about him, but they have reservations about spending £20 million on a squad player. ...
