Bale replaced Ozil in Madrid... now he wants to move into Arsenal star's Spanish mansion

Gareth Bale has already taken Mesut Ozil’s position as a galactico - now he is set to move into the Arsenal midfielder’s Madrid mansion.
It is understood former Tottenham winger Bale and his partner Emma have viewed the property, which is said to be worth £1million, in the Spanish capital’s exclusive La Moraleja district.

But the £86million world record signing, who scored on his debut in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Villarreal, will view other properties before making a decision.

The house has been put on the market after Ozil’s £42m move to Arsenal. La Moraleja, known as the Beverley Hills of Madrid,  is home to numerous Real stars. Cristiano Ronaldo has a property in the area, while David Beckham lived there during his time at the Bernabeu.
Bale and his family are currently staying in the upmarket Sheraton Mirasierra Suites Hotel, in north Madrid.
