Barcelona, Real Madrid target Bale happy at Tottenham….for now

Gareth Bale says he is happy at Tottenham for the time being as Catalan giants Barcelona and Spanish rivals Real Madrid continue to circle.

The Welsh star has again emerged as a transfer target for the Blaugrana and Los Blancos who have both been alerted that he is yet to sign a new contract with Spurs.

Bale's consistent performances have been a major reason for Tottenham sitting third on the Premier League table and he has eased the worries of the club by saying he is content to stay put in North London for now.

"At the moment we are going in the right direction and it is a very exciting time. We have quite a young squad and we're still building," he told ESPN.

"We have a new training ground coming next year and there are plans for a new stadium so it is all heading in the right direction.

"For the time being I'm happy at Tottenham, we're playing good football. We are right up there and closer to challenging for the Premier League. There is no reason why we can't keep progressing."
