Tottenham boss Redknapp: Bale will always remember San Siro

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes Gareth Bale will always remember his hat-trick at the San Siro.

Wales winger Bale is still basking in his sensational San Siro hat-trick against Inter Milan on Wednesday that elevated him to superstar status overnight.

"He'll look back on that, surely, in years to come - and what an achievement," said Redknapp, who hopes the 21-year-old recovers from his amazing exploits in time for the Premier League game with Everton.

"He's tired, the kid," Redknapp said.

"He had a couple of tough games for Wales and then, obviously, Saturday (against) Fulham, Wednesday night in the San Siro.

"He's nearly empty but, hopefully, there's still a little bit of petrol in there."

Redknapp immediately slapped a not-for-sale sign on Bale after Wednesday night's 4-3 Champions League defeat and he revealed today he spoke to chairman Daniel Levy on the subject following the game.

He said: "Gareth has not got a value; he's not for sale. That's the key.

"I spoke with the chairman the other night."
