Dimitar Berbatov claims former Tottenham team-mate Gareth Bale's loan return to the club is '100% NOT working' and that Spurs are being left with an 'easy decision' to send him back to Real Madrid in the summer

Dimitar Berbatov believes Gareth Bale's return to Tottenham Hotspur has been a failure and that his former side will not hesitate to send the Welshman back to Real Madrid.

To much fanfare, Bale returned on loan to Spurs for the season last summer seven years after departing White Hart Lane for Madrid in a world record deal worth £86million.

However, he has struggled to make any impact in Jose Mourinho's starting XI and has started just one Premier League game this season, while failing to complete 90 minutes in any competition due to a mixture of poor form, fitness and injuries.
