As Gareth Bale closes in on a switch to Real Madrid to join some of the world's best in La Liga, he is beginning to look almost identical to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Tottenham winger, 24, is set to sign for Madrid for a world record fee of £85million, and will most likely play on the opposite wing to Real's No 7 in the capital.
But the pair are looking increasingly similar as they draw ever closer to being brought together in Spain, with Bale attempting to mirror Ronaldo's cool persona with aviators and a backwards baseball cap.

Get this tan in Wales, Gareth? The Tottenham man may not be able to pull off these looks in Madrid
Bale's
move should be completed before the transfer window closes on September
2, with Carlo Ancelotti and Madrid seemingly preparing for his arrival,
leaving the No 11 shirt vacant.
Andre
Villas Boas meanwhile has also made plans for life without Bale. Spurs
are nearing a £60million double swoop for Anzhi Makhachkala midfielder
Willian and Roma forward Erik Lamela.

It has been a rapid rise for Bale over the last few years, who was being offered out on loan as a learning left-back in the Englsh game three years ago.
His switch to a gut-busting winger, and then a creative dynamo, has seen the big boys come calling.
The Welsh wizard's footballing skills along with Ronaldo's goalscoring prowess are the things that are sure to excite the fans at the Bernabeu, but the pair may also be exchanging some fashion tips along the way!
