'He really used Tottenham for training!': NBA star and Chelsea fan Josh Hart mocks Spurs after Gareth Bale admits main reason for loan switch was to get fit for Euro 2020 - with Wales forward planning on Real Madrid return this summer too

Rival football fans of Tottenham have mocked the club after Gareth Bale's comments on Tuesday and now a NBA player has waded in too.

After an indifferent campaign on loan from Real Madrid, Bale has recently returned to form at Spurs - scoring four in his last four Premier League appearances for the club.

There had been optimism that the 31-year-old would look to make his loan move a permanent one this summer but Bale emphatically squashed that by declaring his intent to return to Real Madrid and that this season was about being match fit for Wales at the delayed Euro 2020 campaign.
