Tottenham: 3 reasons why Gareth Bale makes Spurs challengers

1. Bale is the creative player Spurs desperately need

When watching Tottenham in their 1-0 defeat to Everton last week, it was crystal clear that this team needs another playmaker. An attacking player who can create something out of nothing, put the perfect pass into Harry Kane, and set up regular goal-scoring chances.

Enter Gareth Bale.

What makes Bale such a special talent is that he can turn a game in a second. With a piece of magic, a potential draw becomes a win. Bale has the speed, skill, and power to take on defenders, and he has the accuracy to place the perfect ball through to Harry Kane. Need a goal? Just watch Bale score from just about any angle.

Throughout his career, Bale has shown he can turn it up when the team needs him most. More often than not, he produces a goal or assist at just the right time. And I’m not just talking about the countless magical moments he produced for Tottenham, but he also did it on many occasions for Real Madrid, none greater than his overhead kick in the Champions League final against Liverpool. Bale would score again later on, sealing a 3-1 victory for Madrid.

Giovani Lo Celso showed on Thursday night that he can be a creative player for Spurs. With Bale, they’ve signed a game-changer. Between these two, Tottenham will be fun to watch going forward.
