Former Spurs manager Harry Redknapp's son and former player Jamie Redknapp has said that striker Gareth Bale might have outgrown the club, which could be too big for him and his body language is now different.

According to the Mirror, Redknapp has seen at close quarters how the Welsh star has become more self-assured and confident in the last year and said that he did not mean it in a bad way, but the striker was not the liveliest character and only came alive on the pitch.

The former English player was convinced that the long-debated move to the Bernabeu for Bale would materialize and said that the world-record transfer fee could also be possible.

With Bale still at the club, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has signed Paulinho, Roberto Soldado, Nacer Chadli and Etienne Capoue for 60 million pounds in total.
