Tottenham have 'no option' to re-sign Gareth Bale this summer, confirms his agent Jonathan Barnett... with Wales star set to return to Real Madrid for final year of his deal as he bids to impress new boss Carlo Ancelotti

Gareth Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett has confirmed Bale won't play at Tottenham for a second season, with the Welshman set to see out the year he has left on his contract at Real Madrid.

Bale fell out of favour at Real Madrid under Zinedine Zidane and returned to Tottenham on loan, seven years after leaving the club.

It was an impressive stint in north London, scoring 11 league goals despite only starting 10 times, fuelling speculation as to whether he'd stay on for another year.

But according to reports from Standard Sport, Barnett has confirmed that won't be the case, with one year left on his contract at Los Blancos.
