Tottenham players are hoping Gareth Bale stays at White Hart Lane.

Bale has always insisted he is happy at the club and he looked relaxed as he sported the new 2013-14 home kit yesterday.

Club captain Michael Dawson said: "He's known worldwide and I'm very lucky to play with him.

"He's here to do well, like all of us. He's a top guy - the lads love having him around.

"Someone as good as him you certainly want to keep.

"It hasn't always been easy for him since he signed, he was out of the team like myself. But the boy is world class."
