However, there's chance that Tottenham wont be among clubs that will fall away during the mid of this season through the end cause they are planning to get a player that will somehow help the team
Who would that player be? Somehow there is rumours that Tottenham might try to get Bale on permanent transfer and if they do then they will spend a fortune for him. Bale could be a good choice but only if he could keep up with the premier league pace but from what I've seen, he is no longer the same beast as few years ago
Mourinho sees Gareth Bale as the perfect choice and with what I read it no longer a rumor Mourinho seems to be concerned about the player conditions in Wales at the Nations League.
Bale is no longer the same beast in the field of play as you said but he's gaining back his fitness and with someone like Mourinho he could be the beast he once was.
