The world's most expensive footballer Gareth Bale has been unveiled to a rapturous crowd at Real Madrid's Bernabeu in the past few moments.

In broken Spanish, the £85.3 million player told a near 85,000 capacity stadium: 'It's a dream to be here and to play for Real Madrid. I appreciate this welcome.'

The signing of the six-year deal will see Bale, 24, earn £256,000 a week and brings to an end the most gripping transfer saga of the summer.
