Rumour Has It: Manchester United, Spurs and Arsenal eye Bale in January

The Gareth Bale transfer saga continues to roll on as he remains frozen out at Spanish giants Real Madrid with seemingly no way back.

The 30-year-old was linked with a move to China in the summer but the move did not materialise and Bale has since continued to find himself out of favour with Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane.

All is not lost for Bale though with three Premier League clubs battling for the Welshman’s signature in January, as he builds towards a possible Euro 2020 campaign with Wales next June.

The three Premier League giants are seeking solutions to solve inconsistent starts to their respective seasons and believe the Welshman could provide a timely boost leading into 2020.

Bale is seen as the perfect fit for a return to Premier League football, having maintained his good reputation from time spent with Southampton and Spurs, but it remains to be seen whether Madrid’s asking price or the player’s wage demands will be met. 

Marca believe Bale could revisit a potential move to China, however, with the player’s agent believed to be in talks with Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.
