Gareth Bale has 'fallen back in love with football' after finally ending Real Madrid nightmare and returning to Tottenham, claims Wales assistant coach Robert Page

Gareth Bale has 'fallen back in love with football' after returning to Tottenham, says Wales assistant coach Robert Page.

The 31-year-old winger has returned to Spurs on a season-long loan, seven years after he left for Real Madrid in a then-world record transfer fee in 2013.

Having found himself out of favour under Zinedine Zidane - featuring just 20 times last season - Page believes Bale has rediscovered his form in North London.

Bale has appeared six times for Jose Mourinho' side so far this season - scoring one goal and registering one assist.
