'Loves him' - Daniel Levy 'tempted' to sign 'world class' 183-goal man for Spurs, says reporter

Speaking to The Transfer Tavern, journalist Dean Jones has shared an interesting update on Tottenham Hotspur’s links to former star Gareth Bale.

The Wales international is set to leave Real Madrid as a free agent in June with his contract on the verge of expiry, leaving the door open for interested clubs to sign him on a Bosman this summer.

Bale’s pedigree and experience at the very top level could be a real pull for clubs in the Premier League and beyond with Spurs having been linked to signing him a third time.

The 32-year-old spent 2020/2021 on loan at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, finishing last season as the Lilywhites’ third-most threatening player in terms of league goals and assists combined (WhoScored).

Bale, who is about to become one of the big name free agents up for grabs, is apparently attracting Spurs chairman Daniel Levy’s personal interest as Jones shares what he knows.

Speaking to The Transfer Tavern, the transfer reporter explained how Levy is ‘tempted’ by the idea of signing Bale, a player he ‘loves’.

When asked if the Tottenham chief could be contemplating a summer swoop, Jones explained:

“I mean, he’s always tempted. He loves him. He managed to get him back there before.”

Bale’s reunion at N17 last year was a mixed one, with the attacker enjoying spells of brilliant form but also suffering from various fitness issues throughout.

He even attracted criticism from ex-manager Jose Mourinho for giving a false depiction of his rehabilitation on Instagram at one point.

Wales’ superstar could also command huge wages which may be a point of contention financially for Tottenham amid their issues with mounting club debt.

That being said, critics in England believe his quality remains, with talkSPORT host Andy
