Latest Gossip Surrounding Tottenham Star, Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale, 24, is one of the best young players in football, so there is little surprise that he is being pursued by the top clubs in the world.

Tottenham and team chairman Daniel Levy have been doing their best to make sure he does not go anywhere, but rumors about him transferring are heating up. It seems as though a move to Real Madrid is a very real possibility.

Daily Mail's Sami Mokbel brings shocking news regarding Bale's potential move to Real Madrid:

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hijacked Tottenham’s proposed £30million deal for Brazil winger Willian.

And the dramatic swoop for the Anzhi Makhachkala player immediately put Gareth Bale’s world-record switch to Real Madrid in doubt.

But Sportsmail understands Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is so furious about Mourinho’s £32m move for  Willian that he is threatening to pull the plug on Bale’s departure.

Stunned White Hart Lane officials will consider their next move today.

According to reports in Spain, the deal has been agreed between the two clubs and Bale's world record £93m move will be confirmed in the next 24 hours.

Tottenham technical director Franco Baldini is currently in Spain finalising Bale's transfer as well as the deal that will seal Erik Lamela's move to White Hart Lane from Roma.

Madrid defender Fabio Coentrao is expected to move to Spurs as part of the package.
