Liverpool is ready to enter the race for Gareth Bale – should Tottenham make him available – it has been claimed.
The 21-year-old winger has enjoyed his best season to date with his performances for Spurs earning the Welshman nominations for the PFA Players’ Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year.
And now, in somewhat surprising developments, the Sunday Express reports that Spurs would seriously consider selling their prized asset in the summer if bids in excess of £30 million are made – and Liverpool are alleged to be one of the clubs courting the youngster.
The Sunday Express continues to add that Bale is high on the wish-list of Liverpool as the transfer window approaches and the Reds will have to battle with Manchester United if they want to bring the wideman to Anfield.
Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli held the same position at Spurs when Bale secured his move to White Hart Lane and the Frenchman is known to be a big fan of the Tottenham star.

Comolli is on the lookout for more natural width at both left-back and on the left flank and is understood to have identified Bale as the perfect acquisition for Liverpool and – with significant funds expected to be available in the summer – the Anfield club could have the capabilities to test the resolve of Tottenham.
Should Liverpool formalize their interest, they are also likely to have to fight off Inter Milan in their pursuit of Bale, with the Italians having experienced the form Southampton man at his devastating best.
Bale only recently penned a new four-and-a-half year contract at White Hart Lane, but speculation over his future shows no sign of abating.
