China move would be ‘a waste’ of Gareth Bale’s career, says Michael Dawson

Former Tottenham captain Michael Dawson has told Radio 5 Live “it would be a waste” of Gareth Bale’s talents if he were to move to China.

Bale remains a Real Madrid player despite manager Zinedine Zidane declaring it would be "best for everyone" if the Wales international left the Bernabeu.

He was on the verge of securing a lucrative move to China before Madrid president Florentino Perez cancelled the deal.

Dawson told 5 Live’s Tony Livesey he finds it “unbelievable a player of his quality would go over to China”.

“If he was to leave Real Madrid I’d obviously like to see him back in the Premier League.”
