Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos is backing their move for Tottenham star Gareth Bale. The Spanish giants are desperate to prise the double Footballer of the Year from Tottenham in a £60million switch.

And defender Ramos declared: "Gareth Bale is a Real Madrid-quality signing. He has had an exceptional season. He can punish any team in the world and has the footballing qualities we look for in Madrid.

"I am sure Madrid will not be the only team that want to sign him - but he is the right mould for us."
