Gareth Bale was asked whether he would have ever considered signing for Arsenal, and the Tottenham legend dismissed the possibility out of hand.

Bale is undoubtedly one of Spurs’ biggest legends of the Premier League era, with the pacy attacker arriving as a teenager from Southampton back in 2007 before evolving into one of the world’s best players during his time at White Hart Lane.

The Welshman, who went on to win five Champions League titles with Real Madrid, completed a fairytale return to the North London club on loan during the 2020-21 season.

Things did not go according to plan for Bale on his return, partly owing to his issues with then-manager Jose Mourinho (Guardian), but the 34-year-old has seemingly not allowed that to affect his love for Spurs.
