'I wouldn't write him off yet': Chris Coleman insists Gareth Bale still has something to offer Tottenham despite his continued struggles while on loan... but ex-Wales boss believes four-time Champions League winner is suffering from a lack of confidence

Former Wales boss Chris Coleman insists Gareth Bale should not be written off just yet despite his ongoing struggles while on loan at Tottenham.

The 31-year-old rejoined Spurs last summer for his second stint at the club but it hasn't gone according to plan, with the Welshman reduced to a bit-part role and is left on the bench for the majority of games.

Bale only has 231 minutes of Premier League action under his belt since returning on a season-long loan, leaving many to write off the once talismanic winger and question his desire.
