# Tottenham: Sky Sports share significant Bale transfer update

**Sky Sports journalist Michael Bridge has shared a significant update on [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/)‘s chances of re-signing Gareth Bale for a third time this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs keep moving…

The Lilywhites and transfer chief Fabio Paratici’s preparations for the 2022/2023 [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season are in full swing with three signings having already been [confirmed by Spurs.](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/yves-bissouma-tottenham-transfer-confirmed-b1006864.html)

Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster, who both joined the club on Bosman deals, were soon followed by the arrival of Mali international Yves Bissouma in a [£25 million deal](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/yves-bissouma-tottenham-transfer-confirmed-b1006864.html) from Brighton.

It is believed that yet more additions could follow the trio as head coach Antonio Conte [sets his sights](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/yves-bissouma-tottenham-transfer-confirmed-b1006864.html) on a right-wing-back, central defensive star and striker.

### The Latest: Bridge shares Bale update…

Speaking to Sky (via [Football Daily](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1539640987844222979)), reporter Bridge has now shared the latest on Spurs and their links to re-signing hero Bale for a third time.

Unfortunately, he claims the move is dead in the water for Lilywhites supporters. When asked if Paratici could make a move for the 32-year-old, he revealed rather bluntly:

> “I’m told no.”

Bridge explained this is despite ‘early talk’ of another reunion and goes on to say a move is possible for the likes of Cardiff City.

### The Verdict: Good call?

The winger, despite once being a star for Spurs, has been[struggling for fitness at club level](https://www.football-espana.net/2021/12/03/real-madrid-gareth-bale-fitness) over this past year and we believe the north Londoners should let sleeping dogs lie.

A new striker, wing-back and centre-back are clearly priorities for Paratici and we believe that’s where the Italian’s full focus should be – but it will be interesting to see where Bale ends up next.

According to Bridge, it won’t be N17, and that feels like the right decision this time around.
