Tottenham have had a successful window with the additions of Gedson Fernandes and Steven Bergwijn, as well as making Giovani Lo Celso’s stay in North London permanent.
However, the Daily Mail report that their business doesn’t stop there, and former player Gareth Bale is being targeted in a move that would likely surprise a lot of Spurs fans.
It is believed that Jose Mourinho is keen on bringing him back to the club, and Real Madrid are said to be open to letting the winger go for a small fee, though he would have to take a huge wage cut from his current salary of £600,000 a week.

The return of a player who was brilliant towards the end of his spell for Spurs, as evidenced by his £85m move, would likely greatly excite supporters, and some have expressed their desire for his return.
The idea that he could be available for “next to nothing”, according to the Daily Mail, means there could be an outside chance of signing the 30-year-old, though he would likely need a lot of persuading.
Some Tottenham fans have called on Daniel Levy to do exactly that, and if he was to pull it off he would likely change the minds of the minority of supporters who are against him.
However, the more realistic individuals amongst the fanbase have shared their belief that there is little chance of the transfer occurring, with Bale’s astronomical wages far beyond what the club can afford.
