Gareth Bale is already booked in for a round of golf with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy ahead of his proposed return to the North London club, according to a leaked image on social media.
Bale left Spurs for Real Madrid in 2013, however is expected to seal a sensational return to the club after agreeing a one-year loan deal believed to be worth around $17 million.
An image shared widely on Twitter appeared to show Bale booked in for a 1:52 p.m tee time at Hadley Wood Golf Club, which is just 30 minutes away from Tottenham, on Friday alongside Levy and chief scout Steve Hitchin.
Shortly after the image went viral, Hadley Wood tweeted from its official account: "Never had so many Friday afternoon tee time requests!"
When asked by Insider to confirm whether Bale was booked to play on Friday as the image suggests, a representative for the golf club did not specifically deny that Bale is playing, but said: "We are not aware that he has booked in."
After 1.52 p.m. passed in the UK, the club tweeted again, this time writing: "Still waiting."
The Welsh star arrived in England on Friday to complete his move, and was seen by Sky Sports cameras being driven into the club's training ground.
One Tottenham fans forum claimed that the screenshot was a hoax, saying it was made by a fan:
Bale is renowned for his love of golf, once famously holding a Welsh flag sporting the words "Wales. Golf. Madrid." after an international match.
Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, said on Thursday, according to Sportsmail, that he believes his client's return to Tottenham "will be completed this week."
