The Goal Line! All the scores .. all Bale has his eyes on the prize after Spurs return

GARETH Bale has set his sights on silverware after returning to Tottenham on loan from Real Madrid.

The 31-year-old rejoins Spurs on a season-long deal seven years after he moved in the opposite direction in a then world-record transfer.

He went on to stock his medal collection with four Champions Leagues, two Laliga titles and a Copa del Rey triumph among others, and is determined to now bring success to the club where he first established himself as a world-class talent.

“I think by going to Madrid, winning trophies and going far with the national team I feel like I have that kind of winning mentality, how to win trophies,” said Bale, a Euro 2016 semifinalist with Wales.

“You don’t realise it until you’re there and in those situations, in finals, know how to deal with the situation, the nerves, the pressure, and I think that all goes with experience.

“Hopefully I can bring that to the dressing room, bring a bit more belief to everybody that we can win a trophy, and the target is to do that this season, to be fighting on every front possible.

“I want to bring that mentality here, back to Tottenham.

“It’s an exciting time for everybody here, the club continues to progress every year and I want to contribute to that again and try to get us to the next level, which is winning a trophy.

“It’s such an important thing for this club, to win trophies.

“As players, we want to win trophies in our careers, and to be doing it at Tottenham now would be a dream come true.”

Meanwhile, new signing Diogo Jota has arrived at Liverpool hoping to complement their fearsome attacking forward line, not displace it.
