Spurs effect? Wales caretaker coach Page: First time I've seen Bale happy in training

Wales caretaker coach Robert Page admits Gareth Bale, as a Tottenham, is the happiest he's seen him.

Page, bossing Wales in the absence of Ryan Giggs, says Bale's mood is in contrast when he would arrive still as a Real Madrid player.

Page, who has coached in Wales' first team set up since September 2019, said: “I have had a conversation with Gareth and he is rearing to go and is fighting fit.

“If I am honest since I have been involved with the squad , it is the first time he has been at a club where he seems to be enjoying his football and his training.

“He looks fit and feels fit.

“It is good to have a fully fit Gareth Bale involved in the squad."
