The 30-year-old was speaking on talkSPORT when asked his opinion on whether the Gunners should sign Bale, to which he replied: ‘No’:
« I look at players who would play in that position and they are young players who have arguably been Arsenal’s best players over the last few years. » And (two), if he does, I think he would stop those players from playing. »
Gareth Bale joined Real Madrid from Tottenham for a then-record fee in the summer of 2013. He enjoyed a highly successful career at the Bernabeu which saw him win 16 major honours.
He boasts a tally of 106 goals and 67 assists in 258 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos but has struggled to win over the club’s fans.
A Premier League return could be on the cards for the 32-year-old, with MLS clubs reportedly interested in him as well.
Gareth Bale recently played a leading role in Wales’ qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, proving he still has what it takes to make a difference at the top level.
