Graeme Souness is unconvinced that Tottenham will turn Gareth Bale's loan spell into a permanent deal despite his latest goal-scoring showing in the 4-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Bale swept home Harry Kane's cross for the opener on 25 minutes before putting Spurs back in front just after the break with a powerful close-range header after Kane had nodded the ball back into the danger area.
Bale left the pitch on 70 minutes with the hosts 3-1 up and now has nine goals in his last 15 games across all competitions, including four strikes in his last two Premier League matches after his double against Burnley last Sunday.
