Jurgen Klinsmann wants Gareth Bale to rejoin Tottenham

Jurgen Klinsmann has joined the long list of footballers to advise Gareth Bale. The German legend has also asked the Welshman to stop wasting his time at Real Madrid and move back to Tottenham.

He claims that the forward is someone who should be playing every week, but that is not going to happen unless he leaves Santiago Bernabeu. Talking to talkSPORT, he said:

“Time goes by so fast as a player and you cannot waste it. This is the worst punishment for a player to be on the bench. The most important thing for every player is to be on the field and to play.

"When this doesn’t work out, sooner or later you have to come to a conclusion and consider a move. There is a point in time when you become a professional player when you would like to earn a decent amount of money that you can put on the side to feel a bit more safe."

But once that goal is achieved there is only one other thing that matters – playing and scoring goals and building your playing record. A player like him, we would like to admire him week in, week out on the television. As a Tottenham fan, I would love him to come back to Spurs.”
