Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has spoken highly of Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale, as quoted on El Chiringuito TV.

Bale has been linked with a move from Spanish and European giants Madrid back to Tottenham in the summer transfer window.

According to The Sun, Tottenham are interested in bringing the Wales international winger to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Spurs’ transfer committee are discussing the possibility of a loan deal for the winger.

The 29-year-old was on the books of Tottenham from 2007 until 2013 when he made the move to Spanish and European giants Madrid for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £85 million.

During his time at the Santiago Bernabeu so far, Bale has won La Liga once and the Champions League four times, but the Wales international winger has had injury issues and has not always been very consistent.

Spurs manager Pochettino has shared his opinion on Bale, and the Argentine seems to rate the former Southampton star highly.

Pochettino told El Chiringuito TV when asked about Bale, as translated by Football.London: “He’s a Real Madrid player. But we have a good relationship. We played against him last year. I have good references about him.

“Everyone has a fond memory of him here, just like they do at Southampton. He still has three years on his contract at Madrid. It’s a situation that isn’t easy for him and isn’t easy for the club.”
