The Welshman has endured a tough few seasons under manager Zinedine Zidane, which ultimately saw him being frozen out of the LaLiga side, and he recently revealed that a move away from Madrid had previously been blocked by the club.
The 31-year-old left White Hart Lane back in 2013 in a blockbuster transfer to bolster the Real frontline, and despite some immense success, Bale's fairy tale quickly turned into a nightmare.
The deadly winger was linked with a potential move to Manchester United as an alternative to Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho, but Spurs have pounced to lure their former star back to London.
In total, Bale made 251 appearances across all competitions for the Spanish giants, scoring 105 goals and providing 68 assists along the way.
