Arsenal backed for shock Gareth Bale transfer with ex-Tottenham man set for Real Madrid decision

Former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has suggested that the Gunners could potentially be suitors for Gareth Bale once the ex-Tottenham forward leaves Real Madrid. The Welshman’s contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires at the end of the campaign and it appears highly unlikely that he will extend his stay in Spain.

Bale has of course been with the La Liga giants since a record-breaking 2013 move from Tottenham Hotspur and despite writing his name into club folklore, he has never quite fit. He has been subject to continued criticism during his spell with Madrid - something that has increased during the current campaign.

Due to a multitude of injury problems, he has made just five appearances in all competitions this season and looks certain to wave goodbye on a free transfer. Whilst it remains to be seen where his future lies - rumours of another return to Spurs, a move to hometown club Cardiff City or even retirement circling - Seaman has suggested that Arsenal could potentially make a move for the 32-year-old.
