Excitement as Bale, Vinicius kickoff training at Tottenham under Mourinho

New signings Gareth Bale and Carlos Vinicius have begun training with Tottenham.

Bale has yet to make his second Spurs debut after re-joining the club from Real Madrid in the summer window following a knee problem sustained on international duty last month.

But having returned to individual training a week ago, he appeared all smiles as he took part in collective training on Wednesday with Brazilian striker Vinicius, who arrived last week on a season-long loan from Benfica.

The 25-year-old – who arrives as back-up to Harry Kane – was also pictured equally as happy as his Welsh team-mate as he got a feel for his new surroundings and joined up with his new colleagues under the watchful eye of boss Jose Mourinho.

Bale and Vinicius were joined by other Spurs stars including goalkeeper Joe Hart and forward Lucas Moura, who are in buoyant mood following the club’s 6-1 thrashing of Manchester United put them into sixth place in the Premier League table.
