Odds cut on Gareth Bale departure

UK bookmakers William Hill have slashed their odds on Gareth Bale leaving Tottenham Hotspur this summer.

The move was made immediately after Arsenal's 1-0 win at Newcastle United, which meant that Spurs failed to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Bale is under contract until June 2016, but William Hill are offering just 5/6 on him departing White Hart Lane before the next transfer window closes in September this year.

Real Madrid are the favourites to sign the Welsh winger, who scored his 21st Premier League goal during Sunday's 1-0 win over Sunderland.

Paddy Power are offering 6/4 on Real becoming Bale's next employers, while you can get 5-1 on him moving to the Bernabeu this summer at BetVictor.
