Wales winger Gareth Bale has rejoined Tottenham Hotspur on loan from Real Madrid.
Bale flew to London on Friday after completing a medical in Madrid, with Spurs agreeing to pay about £20m in wages and loan fees.
The 31-year-old was accompanied by team-mate Sergio Reguilon, who also completed a move from Madrid to Spurs in a separate five-year deal.

“It’s nice to be back. It’s such a special club for me where I made my name, what an amazing club with amazing fans, it’s incredible to be back,” Bale told the club’s website.
“Hopefully now I can get some match fitness, get underway and really help the team to win trophies.
“I always thought when I did leave that I would love to come back one day, the opportunity has now arisen and I feel like it is a good fit at a good time.
“I am hungry and motivated to do well for the team. I can’t wait to get started.
“By going to Madrid and winning trophies, and going far with the Wales national team, I have got that winning mentality.
“You don’t realise until you are there in finals and those situations. Hopefully I can bring belief into everybody that we can win trophies. The target is to do that this season, I want to bring that mentality back to Tottenham.
“Since I have left the club has been building, the stadium is incredible, the training ground is better than before. It’s an exciting time.”
Bale won two La Liga titles, four Champions League trophies, as well as the Copa del Rey at Madrid.
He will wear the No 9 shirt at Spurs.
