08:00 UPDATE: Bale to Arsenal backed
Arsenal would suit Gareth Bale more than any other Premier League side, talkSPORT presenter Adrian Durham claims.
“He’s won nothing in the English game and I think this summer is the time to get yourself back here, go to a club that’s going to win something, i.e. not Tottenham Hotspur, and win things in the English game, really drive a club forward,” Durham told talkSPORT.
“Whether it be Liverpool or a Manchester United. It would be such a tap in to go to Manchester City and join what they’re doing.
“I don’t necessarily think Pep [Guardiola] would want him, I think he might go with younger players, I might be wrong.
“It would be a bit deceitful really to go to Chelsea if you’re Gareth Bale, think of the Tottenham connection there.
“It’s impossible, surely isn’t it, to go to Arsenal. But Arsenal fit the bill, he should be going to a club that he can make a difference, that club that needs to be pushed over the line.
“That’s why I’m talking about a Liverpool, that’s why I’m talking about a Manchester United, it would be an Arsenal. But could he go there, really?”

Jose Mourinho has hinted he’s improved since he was last at Real Madrid amid rumours he could replace Santiago Solari at the Bernabeu.
“I’ve got an overall great memory of my time there,” Mourinho told Spanish TV channel Cuatro.
“To work for Real Madrid has been a unique experience, different from any other I’ve had, and I’ve had many.
“We’ve done fantastic things. We won La Liga… We had bad times, I probably made mistakes, but I improved a lot as a coach and as a person after that experience.
“Now I’m open to even work in a country that I’ve never worked before, to try out a different culture and win a league in a fifth different country. But I’m calm now.”
