"THIS IS MY DREAM COME TRUE"- GARETH BALE FINALLY JOINS MADRID
They announced on their website, "Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement for the transfer of Gareth Bale, who will be contracted to the club for the next six seasons."
The 24 year-old has however written a parting note for his fans at White Hart Lane, "I am not sure there is ever a good time to leave a club where I felt settled and was playing the best football of my career to date," he said.
"I know many players talk of their desire to join the club of their boyhood dreams, but I can honestly say, this is my dream come true. I am well aware that I would not be at the level I am today were it not for firstly Southampton and then Spurs standing by me during some of the tougher times and affording me the environment and support they have.
He continued, "Tottenham will always be in my heart and I'm sure that this season will be a successful one for them. I am now looking forward to the next exciting chapter in my life, playing football for Real Madrid."
VICTOR MOSES JOINS LIVERPOOL ON A SEASON-LONG LOAN
The 23 year-old Nigerian international who left Wigan Athletic last summer for Chelsea has done his medicals at his new club and he would be paid £55,000 weekly wage throughout the period of the loan.
CHELSEA SWITCH: SAMUEL ETO'O EATS WORD
Sometime 2004, when the going was really good in Barcelona, the most decorated African player of all time made a quote during one of the unending rows between Barcelona and Chelsea.
"I'd rather sell groundnuts in my village than to play for a pathetic team like Chelsea."
Well, he penned a one year deal with the "pathetic" club two days ago.
Best of luck Eto'o.
NIGERIA'S SUNDAY MBA CREATES NEW RECORD
The 24-year-old left his Worri Wolves club for french team, CA Bastia in a one-year deal worth 1.35m dollars. Now to my main point, that's the first time a player has moved directly from the Nigerian League to a foreign club for over one million dollars.
