Gareth Bale is not playing at Tottenham because he is coming towards the end of his career, his agent Jonathan Barnett has claimed.

Spurs have been involved in 22 Premier League matches following Bale’s return to the north London club on loan from Real Madrid, but the 31-year-old has started only two of them.
