Gareth Bale's agent says the Real Madrid star's profile is growing around the world.

Jonathan Barnett recognises Bale's commercial value is rising globally.

"America is not only important. This summer there was a mini tour in Jakarta and 60,000 people came to see him," he told AS.

'But the photo of Bale with the Madrid scarf celebrating the European Cup was sent to 360 million people through social networks. His followers are growing by the millions."
