Gareth Bale left the window open on returning to his former club, Tottenham Hotspur. The world's most expensive player told during an interview he would enjoy coming back to the team where everything started for him:
"I love all the Tottenham fans and hopefully one day, you never know, I could be back. Tottenham will always have a place in my heart. I hope the fans still love me even though I've moved on. I hope they understand that obviously Real Madrid is a massive, massive club and that they respect my decision," Bale said.
Bale went on hailing his former club, and how hard it really was for him to take Real Madrid's offer:
"From the moment Real Madrid put the offer in it was obviously difficult. Tottenham was somewhere I felt so comfortable and so happy that it was difficult to leave, but when Real Madrid come in it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Bale added.
Before the interview ended, Bale was adamant on remembering his loyalty for Tottenham's fans:
"They've supported me throught the bad times and believed in me and I'll never forget the great European nights at White Hart Lane. They were amazing," Bale concluded.
