Jamie Redknapp believes Gareth Bale has outgrown Tottenham Hotspur, amid speculation linking him with Real Madrid this summer.

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes that Gareth Bale has outgrown the club.

The winger has been linked with a move to Real Madrid throughout the summer, and Redknapp thinks it is time for him to move on.

"I don't mean it in a bad way, but Gareth wasn't the liveliest character," Redknapp told reporters.

"I'd take my son into the dressing room and he would say hello to him. He was very quiet, not a big personality. He came alive on the pitch.

"But now he feels he is ready to move. I have spoken to players at Tottenham. He has outgrown the club. His body language is different."

Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has insisted that he will not comment on the Bale speculation any more.
