Former Tottenham captain Robbie Keane believes
Gareth Bale cannot ignore the advances of Real
Madrid and has backed the Welshman to be a big
hit in Spain.
Bale looks certain to end months of speculation by
sealing a world record breaking transfer to Real
Madrid, with Republic of Ireland skipper Keane
insisting the 24-year-old is not leaving Spurs on
bad terms. "Tottenham are very lucky to have a very shrewd
chairman, a good manager and good people at the
club, so Gareth is not wanting to leave because
there is anything wrong with the club," Keane told
the BBC. "I know Gareth gets on very well with the
players and the manager at Spurs, but it is the lure of Real Madrid. "He is a young lad, what can you do. I had an
opportunity like this when I was a young lad to go
to Inter Milan and I took my chance. I'm sure Gareth
will take his chance and do well if he goes to
Spain." Real Madrid pre-empted the official announcement
of Bale's arrival at the club when they started selling
shirts with his name and his designated No.11 on
their official website on Thursday evening. However,
Bale is expected to fly to Madrid for a medical
imminently, with Spurs set to pocket a fee in excess of €100 million from the sale.
