Chelsea can dominate Premier League if they land Real Madrid's Bale - Neville

Former Manchester United skipper Gary Neville is touting Chelsea as the Premier League's next dominant force.

Jose Mourinho's Blues lifted the premiership trophy on Sunday after beating Crystal Palace 1-0 which has them sitting 13 points clear of the rest of the competition.

When pondering potential summer transfer for Chelsea, Neville feels that if they can somehow land Gareth Bale from Real Madrid, there could be somewhat of a dynasty at Stamford Bridge for years to come.

"There's one player touted about possibly coming available this summer, and that's Bale," said Neville on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

"The talk is he's going to go to one of Manchester City, Manchester United or Chelsea.

"If he becomes available, if Chelsea win that battle, and say they lost Oscar or Willian and got him for a net cost of £25million, I think the other teams are in trouble for the next few years, I really do."
