The summer transfer window has now begun, with rumours and speculation continuing to swirl as Tottenham Hotspur eye possible reinforcements.

Spurs were among the biggest spenders during the January transfer window but are expected to be active again in the summer as Jose Mourinho continues to mould his squad.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Thursday morning's Tottenham Hotspur transfer talk news roundup:

Real Madrid 'slash Gareth Bale price to £22m amid Manchester United interest'

Real Madrid have reportedly slashed their asking price for Gareth Bale to just £22m in an attempt to offload him this summer.

Manager Zinedine Zidane has told Bale that he does not feature in his plans for the upcoming season after the Welshman was reduced to mostly a watching brief for much of last term.

Bale recently confirmed that he was close to leaving Madrid for the Chinese Super League last summer only for the club to make it "very difficult" to do so.

Madrid are also understood to have rejected an £89m approach from a Premier League team last year, but Mundo Deportivo claims that they are now willing to accept less than a quarter of that fee.

The Spanish champions are desperate to get the 31-year-old off their wage bill and are willing to accept a significant loss as a result, although his wage demands could also be an issue for any interested parties.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be leading the race for his signature and could be tempted into a summer move given the reduced fee.

Manchester United 'revive interest in Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale'

Manchester United have reportedly rekindled their interest in Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale.

The 31-year-old hinted last week that he would be open to leaving the Spanish champions and that he was close to doing so last summer, only for the club to make it "very difficult" for him to move away.

Manager Zinedine Zidane does not consider Bale part of his first-team plans for the upcoming season, though, and Madrid are understood to be willing to listen to offers for him now.

Manchester United have regularly been linked with the Wales international in the past, and Marca reports that they have now revived their interest ahead of a possible switch this summer.

United are known to be in the market for a new winger and still regard Jadon Sancho as their top target, but talks with Borussia Dortmund have reached an impasse due to the asking price.

Bale's wages could also be a stumbling block in any negotiations for a move away from the Bernabeu, though, with those thought to have priced Tottenham Hotspur out of a potential bid for their former player.

Bale started just 12 La Liga games last season, scoring two goals as Madrid regained the title.
