‘If anyone can get the best out of Bale, Mourinho can’ – Return from Real Madrid could ‘ignite’ Spurs, says Robinson

The former Tottenham goalkeeper would like to the see the Wales international forward back in north London amid ongoing transfer talk

Jose Mourinho is the perfect manager to get the best out of Gareth Bale, says Paul Robinson, with the former Tottenham goalkeeper saying the Welshman’s return to north London could “ignite” Spurs.

A spark is being sought by a club that find themselves six points adrift of the Premier League’s top four.

The January transfer window is providing an opportunity for Mourinho to bolster his ranks and get further bodies on board, and it has been suggested that efforts could be made to bring Bale back to familiar surroundings from Real Madrid.
