Bale: I am loyal to Tottenham

Gareth Bale has pledged his future to Tottenham Hotspur after winning the PFA’s Player of the Year award.

The 21-year-old is contracted at White Hart Lane until 2015 and is focused on getting the club into the Champions League once more.

Bale said last night: “I am happy at Tottenham. I only recently signed a contract extension. Does that suggest I’m looking to leave the club?

“The thought has never crossed my mind, not at this stage of my career. I owe a great deal to the club and I firmly believe in loyalty.”
