Daniel Levy arrives at Tottenham training ground at crack of dawn to seal Bale transfer after star lands in London

DANIEL LEVY was spotted arriving at Tottenham's training ground at the crack of dawn with Gareth Bale touching down in London to complete his loan move today.

The frozen-out Real Madrid star, 31, headed to the capital to undergo his medical and complete his season-long move to Spurs.

Los Blancos have been itching to dump Bale - and his £650,000-a-week wages - this summer.

Both Tottenham and Manchester United had been keen, but the Londoners appear to have won the race to bring the golf-mad Welshman home.

Spurs opted against an £18.5million move and instead settled for a season-long loan deal, with the Premier League side set to pay just 50 per cent of his wages.

And on Friday morning, chairman Levy drove into Tottenham's training ground to get an early start on the day's rumoured activities.

Levy was seen biting his fingernails as the sun rose over Enfield, in a possible sign of pre-deal nerves.

Bale is claimed to have had a plane on standby at Madrid Airport this week as he prepares to escape the club.

And not only could the former Southampton star get his wish to leave the Bernabeu, he may even be able to enjoy a round of golf with Levy during his Friday visit.

A leaked image appeared to show Bale was booked in for a round with Levy and chief scout Steve Hitchen.

However, there is some scepticism over the legitimacy of the image, with Hitchen's name even spelled incorrectly.

Should Bale's deal go through smoothly, the Welshman will be stuck on a personalised, intensive training regime.
