According to Jose Felix Dias, 2020/2021 Tottenham Hotspur loanee and club legend Gareth Bale plans to retire after this summer's European Championships.

Spanish journalist Jose Felix Dias, via The Spurs Express, has just shared a huge claim concerning 2020/2021 Tottenham Hotspur loanee and club legend Gareth Bale.

Bale was brought back to N17 on a temporary deal from Real Madrid last season in a transfer which stunned supporters and captured the imagination.

What followed was a largely mixed reunion at Spurs, with the Welshman getting off to a slow start under former boss Jose Mourinho and struggling with fitness issues.

However, after the turn of the year, Bale appeared to really find his feet again in the Premier League and finished the campaign as Tottenham's third top scorer in all competitions (WhoScored).

There has been speculation over whether Spurs can re-sign the 31-year-old on loan again or even buy him on a permanent deal, but reporter Dias has now shared a big blow for that scenario - if he is right.

It is claimed by the journalist that Bale plans to hang up his boots following the conclusion of international football this summer.

Bale's agent has disputed the claims, but it's safe to say Spurs fans are not happy.
