Gareth Bale's awkward love saga with Real Madrid continues. The winger is rumoured to leave (yet again) the Los Blancos this transfer window. According to reports, Bale can join his former club Tottenham Hotspur this winter. The London-based club are in severe need of players to lift their drowning season. As reported, Spurs' chief Daniel Levy recently met with Real Madrid officials to discuss a potential move for Bale. The Welshman is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world and possesses the skills to change the dynamic of any side. Bale, however, got on the wrong side of Los Blancos' fans for being too fragile on the pitch. He spent most of his time in Madrid being injured.
