Gareth Bale is a Real Madrid player. The club announced the player's move from Tottenham on their website at 8pm today ending a long drawn out summer of speculation over the deal.

After a transfer saga that has lasted the whole summer, Madrid have managed to convince Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to part with his star player, who finally rebelled by failing to show up for the team’s training sessions.

at the end the transfer was delayed, with Levy angered by Bale’s presence in Marbella and a computing error that led to the 24-year-old’s number 11 shirt being made available on Madrid’s official website. However, with Spurs having invested the money expected from Bale’s move, an agreement over the deal remained inevitable
