“I believe one million per cent he will stay”

Tim Sherwood believes “one million per cent” that Gareth Bale will not leave Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Everyone is fed up of the daily speculation linking Bale with an £80million+ move to Real Madrid, but Sherwood who is a member of the Spurs coaching staff insists the 23-year-old is going nowhere.

According to Sherwood, Bale loves life at the club, gets on well with his team-mates and boss and feels that he won’t be pushing for a move away from the Lane.

Sherwood told the Daily Star: “Gareth’s fantastically happy at Tottenham.

‘‘I see him around the training ground every day. He’s got a good relationship with the manager and loves his team-mates. They show him the respect that he deserves and he gives it back to them.

‘‘I don’t see him banging the door down trying to get a move. I believe one million per cent he will stay.

‘‘There will be a lot of clubs wanting to take Gareth but he’s 23 and has good advisors.

‘‘There’s time for him to go overseas or to another Premier League club but I think he needs to stay here.’’
