Gareth Bale's girlfriend Emma Rhys-Jones has reportedly decided to leave the UK for Spain following her partner's switch to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur.

The Wales international is currently living in a hotel until he finds a permanent home following his world-record £85m transfer.

While Bale's girlfriend did consider a long-distance relationship, family members have revealed that the 23-year-old will move to Madrid with the couple's 11-month-old daughter Alba, according to the Daily Star.

Bale will make his debut for Madrid in tomorrow's La Liga clash against Villarreal.
