'Bale is coming home! - Tottenham fans speculate as Real Madrid make shock 'transfer decision'

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been reacting to the news that Gareth Bale's move to the Chinese Super League is off.

It has been reported by the BBC that Real Madrid's board have pulled the plug on the former Spurs favourite's move to Jiangsu Suning, which was set to be worth £1m per week to the Wales forward.

Bale, of course, joined Real Madrid from Tottenham back in 2013 and has gone on to win four Champions League titles at the La Liga heavyweights.

However, he's found himself out-of-favour at the Santiago Bernabeu with boss Zinedine Zidane ostracising Bale from the first-team squad and he is keen to move him on.

Tottenham are a markedly different outfit since Bale's departure from White Hart Lane six years ago.

They have finished in the top four, qualifying for the Champions League, in the past four seasons and have moved into a brand new stadium.

As such, Spurs fans are divided as to whether they'd like to see the 30-year-old back in north London after Sunday's breaking news.
