Bale: No reason for me to leave Tottenham

Gareth Bale insists the thought of leaving Tottenham never crossed his mind this summer.

Barcelona scouted Bale last season and he has also been heavily linked to a number of Europe’s top clubs like Real Madrid.

Many had predicted that the 23-year-old would follow Luka Modric and Harry Redknapp out of White Hart Lane this summer, but the Welshman committed himself to Tottenham by signing a new four-year contract in June.
