The Wales captain spent five years at White Hart Lane and admits he is still a keen follower of the north London club
Real Madrid star Gareth Bale still considers himself a Tottenham fan and was disappointed by their Champions League final heartbreak last June.
Wales forward Bale departed Spurs for the Santiago Bernabeu in a reported £86 million ($107m) deal in September 2013 and has gone on to win the Champions League four times, as well as a Liga title and Copa del Rey medal.
Bale has endured a tricky relationship with head coach Zinedine Zidane, though, and has often been linked with an exit, while a move to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning collapsed in July.
