Gareth Bale's return to Tottenham Hotspur would not only be a huge boost for the north London side but would also benefit Wales, says John Hartson.
The 31-year-old forward is on the verge of rejoining the club he left seven years ago to sign for Real Madrid for a then-world record £85m.
Bale was mostly sidelined by Real boss Zinedine Zidane last season.
"The one good thing for everybody concerned is he'll be playing regular football," said Wales great Hartson.
"It obviously pulls on the heart-strings, he was such a great player at Spurs and that of course is where he got the £85m record move to Real Madrid.
