Tottenham will have the option to keep Gareth Bale for longer than one season, according to football.london.
Bale's private jet touched down in London at lunchtime on Friday ahead of the Welshman penning a season-long loan switch from Real Madrid.
He will return to north London seven years after he left the club for the Spanish capital, with Spurs also set to sign his Real team-mate Sergio Reguilon in a permanent deal.
However, football.london have reported that Bale's deal will include a clause which will allow Spurs to trigger a second season option, should this campaign prove successful.
Should that option be taken up by Spurs, it would see him remain in north London until the end of his Real Madrid contract, which is due to expire in the summer of 2022.
The transfer has been quite the coup for Jose Mourinho and the club's chairman Daniel Levy, who has repeatedly tried to bring the Wales ace back to Tottenham in recent seasons.
However, one big stumbling block in any potential deal was the 31-year-old's exorbitant wages, believed to be worth around £600,000 per week before tax.
However, football.london claim that Spurs will pay only 40 percent of that, equating to around £250,000 per week.
Mourinho has been keen to sign Bale in the past and has admitted as much in recent days, but will now finally get the chance to work with him this season.
We expect the Wales ace to be announced within the next 24 hours once the final nuances of the deal and the unveiling are thrashed out at Spurs' HQ this afternoon.
