Benoît Assou-Ekotto, the Cameroonian defender for Tottenham, has yet to play in the current season due to injury, according to his club. Amid rumors of interest from AS Roma, Assou-Ekotto commented on the departure of Gareth Bale, expressing the view that it is a significant loss for the team. He praised Bale’s physical attributes, describing him as a “physical monster” capable of sustained effort throughout a match and highlighted his skill in taking free kicks. Gareth Bale, who was the Premier League’s best player last season, was transferred to Real Madrid for a reported sum of 91 million euros.
