Brendan Rodgers: 'Bale is perfect'

Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers pays tribute to "perfect" Gareth Bale.

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted that he believes Tottenham midfielder Gareth Bale is the perfect player.

Rodgers welcomes Bale's Tottenham to the Liberty Stadium on Saturday and the Northern Irishman has stated that Bale is a world-class talent.

"He is perfect. His size, his pace, his power and his touch on the ball mean he is a wonderful, wonderful talent and a good lad by all accounts," Rodgers told Sky Sports News.

"I watched the goal against Norwich when Russell Martin was chasing him. Russell Martin is quick but Bale just ran away from him and he couldn't get back to him.

"If he was on the market any of the top teams in the world would take him."

Swansea could move into the top half of the table with victory over Spurs on Saturday afternoon.
