Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho is keen to sign at least three players before the transfer window closes with Benfica’s Gedson Fernandes the only new arrival so far this month. But a deal for the Welsh superstar, 30, will be challenging to complete with his £650,000 a week contract which runs until June 2022 one of the biggest obstacles. Bale has been limited to just 15 games this season because of hamstring and calf problems and then suffered an ankle knock in the Copa del Rey last week. His other options include Borussia Dortmund duo Spanish international Paco Alacer and Germany star Mario Gotze but re-uniting with Bale remains his first choice.
