Tottenham star’s agent stated his client’s worth as he is set to make a difference for Jose Mourinho’s squad.

Tottenham’s new signing Gareth Bale will aid the club to edge close to the Premier League title as per his agent. Jonathan Barnett also suggests that the “pace king” is still one of the best players in the football world.

Bale played for Real Madrid for seven career-years. Consequently, he came back to Spurs on a one-year loan deal on September 18.

The Wales international joined Los Blancos for a world-record fee of £85 million in 2013. Though, despite great achievements, he did not fit in Zinedine Zidane’s gameplan.

“Bale has got nothing to prove”

Bale lifted four Champions League awards along with two La Liga titles at Santiago Bernabeu. Although, he did not contribute much during his spell for the season 2019-20.

The 31-year-old “speedster” received his golden opportunity to show his talent from Tottenham. Furthermore, we expect him to feature Jose Mourinho’s playing eleven as he gets back from injury.

Jonathan Barnett is Bale’s legal representative and is sure about his client’s career path. Also, he thinks that Tottenham will make their way to the English league glory soon.

When asked about the Welshman’s future ambitions, Barnett told Sky Sports: “Win the Premier League, without a doubt.

“Tottenham has got a good squad, a great coach and with Gareth’s help, I’m sure they will get very close. You only have to see the results from last week to see that it’s open.

“It kills me to say that because I’m an Arsenal supporter, but that’s the reality.

“He has nothing to prove to anybody. He’s won more than anybody else. He was one of the best three or four players in the world and I think he still is.

“If he succeeds, great, If not, he’s been there and done it. But, I think he will succeed.”

Barnett mentions that Bale’s decision to reach out to Tottenham did not involve financial motives. Subsequently, the winger made the choice because of his love for the club.

“He loves it [at Tottenham]. The most important thing is he has got a smile back on his face and that he’s enjoying life,” the super-agent added.

“It had to be somewhere he wanted to go. For him, it wasn’t about money. If he was going to go somewhere it was going to be somewhere that he’d enjoy.

“He’s had offers and it wasn’t right for him. When Tottenham came knocking, it was right.

“He’s had a hard time and now he’s going to enjoy himself. He deserves to be happy. He’s been probably one of Britain’s best ambassadors.

“He wasn’t going anywhere with Real Madrid. We’d got to an impasse and some silly things were happening on both sides.”
