Former footballer Steve McManaman says that Gareth Bale will end up being a “brilliant” signing for Tottenham. The Spurs signed Bale on a season-long loan from Real Madrid during the summer transfer window. Bale made his return to Tottenham after having played for them from 2007 to 2013.
During this season, the 31-year-old has made 6 appearances in which he has scored one goal and provided one assist.
Speaking in an interview quoted by the
London Evening Standard, McManaman said: “I think he’ll have a huge impact because he hasn’t lost any of his pace.
“I know he’s had a few injuries at Real Madrid, but he also wasn’t injured for a lot of the time – he just wasn’t playing. I think he’s ready to and has a lot of points to prove.
“I think it’s a brilliant signing for Tottenham. When you think of Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, and then you throw Gareth into the mix as well, it automatically lifts that starting XI to another level.
“If he stays fit now and he plays 40 games for Tottenham, he’ll definitely score 20-odd goals, and you just cannot buy those types of numbers.
“The fact that Tottenham have done a great deal bringing him, I think it’s wonderful business I really do. If he stays fit, he’ll certainly elevate Tottenham to another level in the Premier League and other competitions this season.”
