Former Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly has urged Gareth Bale to quit Tottenham for a 'winning' club. Desailly thinks Bale cannot fulfill his ambitions at the north London club, however, and believes the time is right for the Wales international to move on.
"He should go, he should just go. Tottenham will not give him the opportunity to play at a very high level," Desailly told the BBC.
"There's no price for experience. I think it's the time for him to go.
"It's not a matter of money because he has [money] where he is at Tottenham - it's just the experience.
"Experience to play at a very high level at a club that has the culture of victory, a club that has trophies in the cupboard - not one or two, but plenty.
"To experience playing with other big players, to be maybe a second choice.
"To face difficulty, a new language for his family.
"It's a real change of life and an approach to life as a human being and as a soccer player."
