Gareth Bale is risking out the best years of his football career.
The 31-year old winger managed just 2 Premier League starts this season and scored three goals in all competitions.
He has failed to live up to expectations at the North London club and will likely return to Real Madrid when his contract expires in the summer.
It was believed that Bale would resurrect his career under Jose Mourinho at Spurs but the Portuguese manager resorted to leaving him on the bench.
“I am looking at him, a world-class player, he comes back to the club he professes to love and it’s as if he has been happy to sit on the bench,” Souness told Sky Sports.
“Now, if he is not happy with that, and that is what he was accused of at Real Madrid, if he is not happy, then be vocal about it.
“Let the Spurs supporters know you are not happy and not getting enough minutes.
“This is a guy who was a genuine – and we don’t know if he still is because we haven’t seen enough of him – world-class footballer.
“At 31, these should be his peak years… I played my best football at 31. These should be his best years, coming back where he is much-loved.
“During games, subs are being made and the camera goes on him. He is not perturbed at not being one of the players going on.”
