Harry Redknapp insists that his former player Gareth Bale has the same attributes as Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp has hailed Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gareth Bale as the "best left-winger in the world".

Redknapp managed Bale during his time at White Hart Lane and he believes that a comparison can be made between the Welsh wide-man and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.

"He's got everything. He's like Ronaldo. He's six foot two, massive strong, head it, run, shoot with both feet, dribble. He's missing nothing. He's a great lad," he told reporters.

"He's not a striker. He plays where he plays. He can play anywhere.

"He'd be the best left-back in the world if he went there again. Best attacking left-back but he's the best left-winger in the world."

Bale has frequently been linked with a move to Madrid to partner Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
