BETTER THAN LAST SEASON

Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has told Tottenham Soccer News that the club that are much better than they were last season. Tottenham grabbed the fourth spot in the Premier league last season after impressive showing throughout the whole season under the former manager Harry Redknapp.

However, they have lost some important players over the summer in the form of Luka Modric. Despite the loss of the Croatian midfielder, the Welsh winger Gareth Bale reckons that they have brought in some impressive replacements the form of Dembele. Further, the permanent signing of the Togo international striker Emmanuel Adebayor is a major boost the club.

Even though the total spending of the club has been very limited in the last transfer window, they have managed to get a number of fresh players over the summer. Some of the players have proven Premier league experience, while the Belgian defender Vertonghen is one of the few without Premier league experience. As a result of this increased squad, the Tottenham winger Gareth Bale believes that he will be able to achieve his dream of once again playing in the Champions League. Gareth Bale has so far had only one season of the Premier European football competition.

“It does take time. Everybody should understand that. There has been an improvement in every game and you saw that at Reading. Everybody just has to be patient. Things will come and it’ll start to click like it did yesterday and, hopefully, we can push on from there. There’s no reason why we can’t kick on. I think we’ve got some great players. The new signings we’ve brought in are great and they’ve been great additions. We’ve got a stronger squad now than we did at the start of the season,” said Gareth Bale after the win over QPR that pushed Tottenham into the top half.
