Gareth Bale would snap up the chance to return to Tottenham, according to his former teammate.
Bale is currently out of favour at Real Madrid and rejected the chance to travel with the squad for their Champions League defeat to Manchester City last week.
Los Blancos are said to be keen to sell the Wales star due to his high wages and complete lack of playing time under Zinedine Zidane.
Reports claim Bale is happy to stay at the Bernabeu, even with his lack of football, but he has consistently been linked with a return to Spurs.
One of his teammates when he was in North London was Andros Townsend, who feels he would be interested in a return to Spurs.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Townsend, who is now at Crystal Palace, argued that Bale's memories of his time at Spurs would be enough to convince him of a return.
"I think if anything the Bale situation, he’d want to go back to Spurs," he said.
"The memories of Spurs. His happiness.
"He was the main man. He was loved. He was at the top of his game. So, if anything I think it would work the other way.
"He would be like ‘I wish I was at Spurs now and had the freedom to do whatever I want.
"To express myself and not worry about where I am now where I get scrutinised for playing golf."
Yet any potential return for Bale would need a remarkable change in transfer approach from Spurs.
Bale's wages are currently too high for Spurs to afford and they have focused in recent years on buying younger players that they can develop rather than older, more established and more expensive talent like Bale.
