Speculation has been rife about whether or not Tottenham are likely to re-sign Bale for next season and Dean Windass believes that chairman Daniel Levy will be instructing Ryan Mason to play Gareth Bale in the final few games of the season.<\/p>\n
Bale kept his place in the starting lineup for Tottenham\u2019s trip to Elland Road after scoring a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Sheffield United two weeks ago but the Welshman, much like the rest of the Spurs side, put in a dismal showing as Mason\u2019s men lost 3-1, a result which effectively ended the club\u2019s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.<\/p>\n
British press reports have claimed that Levy will offer the next Tottenham boss the chance to re-sign the incorrigble Welsh winger next season although reports from Spain emerging on the contrary that the 31-year-old may prefer to see out the final year of his contract at Madrid if coach Zinedine Zidane leaves the club.<\/p>\n
Windass firmly believes that Bale is more likely to be keen on returning to North London next season now that Jose Mourinho is no longer in charge.<\/p>\n
The former Hull City midfielder told Football Fancast: \u201cIt\u2019s up to Gareth if he wants to stay, it\u2019s nothing to do with the club.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow Mourinho has gone, there\u2019s more chance of him wanting to stay because he is going to get a run of games.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guarantee you this, Daniel Levy will be telling Ryan Mason to play him.\u201d<\/p>\n
