The Welsh international, 31, signed for Madrid for £85m in 2013 from Spurs at the end of a season in which he finished as the club's top goalscorer
after travelling on a flight with Real Madrid teammate Sergio Reguilon, who is also joining Tottenham for a fee that could rise to £32m.Confirming his return in a tweet on Saturday evening, Bale said:"To all the Spurs fans, after 7 years, I'm back!"
He also posted a video showing some of his most memorable goals in a Tottenham shirt, including a memorable solo effort against Inter Milan in the Champions League.Bale moved to Spain from the north London side back in 2013 for a then-world record fee of £85m and has won the Champions League four times since then - scoring in two finals.
Real Madrid are said to have agreed to let him leave on loan to get his £500,000-a-week wages off their books. Despite playing for Wales twice this month, Bale is unlikely to be have sufficient match fitness to walk straight into the Spurs side - although unlike most arrivals in the UK from Spain he will likely not have to quarantine.
