After barely making it into the starting XI for Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham, Gareth Bale has undergone a complete resurgence in form. The Welshman most recently started in Spurs’ 4-1 defeat of Crystal Palace where he scored a double alongside Harry Kane.

The Welshman has scored 10 goals across all competitions and has assisted 2, with those numbers coming out of 22 games. Considering that they were static for a majority of the games, we are finally starting to see the true potential of the winger.

Things almost escalated to a breaking point during the winter transfer window wherein Jose Mourinho was actually open to the idea of cancelling the loan deal and sending the player back to Real Madrid due to his poor performances. People close to the club were also aware of the fact that there was general unhappiness around Bale and his performances.

The 31-year-old could now be on the verge of sealing a permanent transfer to Spurs. Real Madrid are open to selling the player, and Spurs would want to keep him if this is the quality he still possesses. However, a key factor for the London club officials to make the deal permanent is that Bale has to keep up this run of form till the end of the season.

The only issue regarding the prospect of signing Bale permanently happens to be his massive salary, and there is still no information as to how the deal will be financed.
