Why Real Madrid Icon Raul Is Training With Spurs

Premier League club Spurs welcomed Raul to their training ground complex in Enfield.

The iconic Spaniard who enjoyed a trophy laden career at Real Madrid was once the most feared striker on the planet.

He bagged well over 300 goals during his time at the Bernabeu, winning the lot. We're talking La Liga titles, and the coveted Champions League on an impressive three occasions.

While he was linked with a move to the English top flight, Raul stayed put in the Spanish capital until 2010, where he left for Germany.

He finished his European venture at Schalke before heading to the Far East then America.

Needless to say, Raul sporting Spurs' badge sent social media into overdrive. Here's some reaction from Twitter:

Enjoy your stay in London, Raul.
