Pochettino on Bale
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino spoke about the possibility of signing Gareth Bale, stating that the Welshman is currently a Real Madrid player but that the pair share a great relationship with each other.
Pochettino then added that the people at Tottenham and Southampton have only good things to say about the Welsh star. However, the three years left in his Madrid contract means that the situation is hard, both for him and the club.
“He’s a Real Madrid player," Pochettino was quoted as saying.
"But we have a good relationship. We played against him last year. I have good references about him.
“Everyone has a fond memory of him here, just like they do at Southampton. He still has three years on his contract at Madrid. It’s a situation that isn’t easy for him and isn’t easy for the club."
