Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho just wants Gareth Bale to be happy.

Bale has returned to Spurs on loan after seven years at Real Madrid and is available to play against West Ham United this weekend.

Mourinho did not confirm the 31-year-old would face West Ham, but insisted the main priority is to get him enjoying football again.

"The team is the most important thing and Gareth is here to help the team," Mourinho told Sky Sports. "But at the same time we care about him. We care a lot about him.

"So the decisions we are going to make are going to be for the good of the team, but also for his own good. It is very important he has a happy season with us and I think at this moment of his career that is very, very important."
