Pundit Noel Whelan has backed Gareth Bale to bring harmony to the Tottenham dressing room.
The Welshman recently secured a return to Tottenham on loan from Real Madrid after falling out of favour at the Bernabeu.
He had moved from Spurs to the Spanish capital in a record-breaking £85 million deal in 2013.
After winning several major trophies with the Spanish side, he was no longer required by the club’s current manager, Zinedine Zidane.
He has now moved to Spurs in his quest to play more games after struggling for game time in Madrid.
He is one of several impressive players that the club has landed this summer, but Whelan seems to see him as a catalyst to a more harmonious dressing room.
Whelan appears to suggest that the current dressing room is not totally content and backed Bale to change that when he becomes fit and joins the rest of his new teammates.
Asked by Football Insider what impact Bale’s arrival at the club will have on Tottenham, Whelan said: “I think it’s a player that knows the club, he’s definitely got the right qualities to improve the side.
“I think it needs freshening up, I think it needs something different there.
“Gareth Bale coming back to the Premier League at 31, he still looks as fit as a fiddle, from what I’ve seen of him recently. He still feels he’s got loads to prove and offer.
“I think he’s going to be a real good influence inside that changing room.
“The more professionals that you have like Gareth Bale in the changing room the better your team gets.
“At the minute, I’m not sure what’s going on with a couple of their players but it doesn’t seem like the harmony is there right now. A couple of transfers will freshen that changing room up and get people buzzing again.”
Some of those away kits were pretty horrifying ;D
Also you forget he played with Adebayor up top an awful lot.
