Wales forward Gareth Bale "looks happier" than ever according to Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho.
The statement will be welcomed by Wales fans in a season in which fitness issues have led to Bale's playing future being questioned.
"Lately he has been fine," said Mourinho.
The Spurs manager added: "He looks confident. In training you can see he has his confidence back, the way he hits his shots."
That confidence came to the fore as Bale fired in during Spurs' 4-0 Europa League win over Wolfsberger in midweek with the Welshman having inspired them to a 4-1 away win against the same opposition six days earlier.
