Former Tottenham star Jamie Redknapp says Gareth Bale deserves a pay-rise.

Redknapp wrote in his column for the Daily Mail: "We've all gone Gareth Bale crazy, but I picked him out as one of my players to watch for the season - I was hearing so many good things from the training pitch. He can now be the best left-sided player in the world. And he can do that playing for Tottenham. The Italian papers are urging Inter to buy him, but why would he go to Italy?

"Daniel Levy must reward Bale's talent. When I broke into the England team, Liverpool gave me an unexpected pay rise. It was a class gesture, it was their way. Now Spurs will have to behave similarly with their rising star."
