The Spurs boss has been quizzed on supposed interest in the Wales international, and has ruled nothing out heading towards the January window
Jose Mourinho refused to give a proper answer as he was asked if he wants Gareth Bale back at Tottenham although he did thank the Welshman for his words of praise.
A retracing of the Welshman’s steps to north London has been mooted for some time.
Bale left the Premier League for the Spanish capital back in 2013, with a record-breaking transfer seeing him join the ranks of ‘Galacticos’ at the Santiago Bernabeu.
