English professional football Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min (28) eats with Welsh forward Garrus Bale (31).
The Tottenham club announced on the 20th (Korean time) that it had signed Bale from Real Madrid (Spain) on loan for one year. Bale is expected to play 9 times for Tottenham this season.
Tottenham is Bale’s ‘father’. He made his professional debut in Southampton (England) in 2006, and rose to stardom playing for Tottenham from the 2007-2008 season. He played 203 games in six seasons for Tottenham, scoring 55 goals, and was transferred to Real Madrid in September 2013. At the time, his transfer fee was known to be £ 86 million (around 129.8 billion won), the highest amount in European football.
Bale lived up to the hype by scoring 15 goals in the Primera Liga in the first year of the transfer. However, he has recently been inactive and injured and is not as active as before. He suffered a dispute with director Zinedine Zidane when he was ousted. Last month, a press raised suspicions that he played golf on a golf course, that he did not participate in an away game in the European Football Federation (UEFA) (UCL) Champions League Manchester City (England).
Last year, a transfer was promoted to Jiangsu Suning of the Chinese Super League, but failed. Recently, there was a rumor about a transfer to Manchester United (England), but it was not successful. Finally, I turned around and came home after 7 years. According to British media, Tottenham pays around £ 20 million (about 30.2 billion won) for Bale’s salary and a year’s rent.
With the signing of Bale, Tottenham can operate a triangle attack squad with Harry Kane (27, England) in front and Heung-min Son and Bale on the left and right sides.
Bale’s return is expected to be seen next month. Tottenham said, “Bale injured his knee while playing for the Wales national team earlier this month,” he said. “We look forward to playing after the game period in October.”
Tottenham also announced the news of a contract with Bale’s teammate and defender of the Spanish team Sergio Regilon (24). Unlike Bale, Regilon came to Tottenham with a full transfer. The contract period is 5 years until 2025. The uniform number is number 3.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min scored a second round draw and reverse goal against Southampton in the 2020-2021 Premier League (EPL) held at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton on the same day.
