"He's spoken to me about a few positions that he would likeme to play and obviously I'm happy with that," Bale, 31, told BTSport.
"He was a big reason for me coming back here, he's ahousehold name and a winner. He's the perfect fit for Tottenham.We need to win trophies and he knows how to do that better thananyone.
"I know every Tottenham fan is desperate for a trophy andwe'll be trying as hard as possible in every competition to dothat."
Bale, who injured his knee playing for Wales this month, islikely be match fit after the October international break and isexcited about the prospect of linking up with Son Heung-min andHarry Kane.
"I haven't trained since the Wales camp so I need to get onthe training pitch," he said. "Hopefully, I can hit the groundrunning in my first game, whenever that may be."
"Harry's done incredibly well since he burst onto the sceneand scored a lot of goals. To play with him and Son is anexciting prospect for all of us. If we're all pushing in thesame direction it could be a very exciting season."
