AVB confident Spurs will keep Bale

Andre Villas-Boas remains confident Gareth Bale will stay at White Hart Lane this summer despite Tottenham’s failure to qualify for the Champions League.

Bale bagged his 26th goal of the season to give Spurs a 1-0 win over Sunderland, but it was not enough to earn a place in Europe’s premier club competition as Arsenal defeated Newcastle by the same scoreline at St James’ Park.
