Gareth Bale has rejected an approach from Arsenal.

The Gunners are claimed to have made an approach for the Welshman, but Bale has insisted he has no interest in joining Arsenal, and instructed Real Madrid to reject offers.

Bale believes his future is at Madrid, but with the La Liga champions potentially needing to raise cash to sign Kylian Mbappe, then the forward’s departure cannot be ruled out.

Bale though has no interest in joining Arsenal – and it is no surprise given his past ties to Tottenham Hotspur.

Bale spent six seasons at Spurs, becoming a real fan favourite, and a nemesis for Arsenal.

Joining the Gunners would have ruined his legacy at Tottenham, where he is still held in high regard after his world record move to Madrid, where he has gone on to win three Champions League titles.

A club record offer would have been required from Arsenal in order to convince Real Madrid to sell.
