Bale signs four-year extension


28.06.12

Gareth Bale committed to Tottenham Hotspur yesterday after the Welsh wizard signed a four-year deal.

Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid are among the clubs to have been linked with a move for the Wales international, who has emerged as one of the English Premier League's standout players over the last two years.

His future at Tottenham had been in doubt after the team failed to qualify for next season's Champions League.

However, Bale said: "I love the club and the fans and I want to play my part in trying to get us back into the Champions League - where we belong.''
