Hoddle: 'Bale should only join City or United'

Glenn Hoddle believes that Gareth Bale should only leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer to join either Manchester City or Manchester United.

The Welshman has been linked with a switch to Real Madrid, but Hoddle believes the 23-year-old isn't ready for such a move.

Hoddle told the Daily Star: "Personally, I don't think Gareth Bale wants to leave yet - unless it was to one of the Manchester clubs.

"He's had a new baby and I'm not sure if he's ready for a move abroad. You have to be settled off the pitch before you get your form on it."

Bale scored 21 goals in the Premier League for Spurs last season.
