Former Tottenham boss, Harry Redknapp, is happy seeing Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale returning to the club.
Bale is believed to be closing in on a sensational loan return to White Hart Lane, seven years after he left for the La Liga giants.
“It would be a fantastic signing for the club and it would be great for Gareth to get back playing again. He’s such a talent, such a great player and it’s waste to see him not playing,” Redknapp told BBC Radio Wales.
“To get back to Tottenham could just turn their season around. They’ve been quite average in the last six months or so. End of last season and obviously got beat on Sunday by Everton.
“They need that little bit of magic Gareth can bring. If he went there or Manchester United, wherever he went, he’d make a massive difference.”

While accepting the deal may be a difficult one to get over the line, Redknapp believes Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is the man for such difficult negotiations.
He added: “The only way they’ll do a deal is if Real Madrid meet at least half his wages. I’d think that’s the stumbling block at the moment for Tottenham or anyone else interested in him.
“It’s not going to be a case of Gareth taking any wage cuts, it’s going to be a case of Real Madrid having to maybe take a third of his wages off Tottenham.
“Daniel Levy’s a very good negotiator, so I’m sure he’ll get the best deal for Tottenham.”
