Tottenham defender Kaboul: Bale now being targeted by opposition

Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul admits teammate Gareth Bale will be targeted more by opposition teams.

Kaboul can see Bale now receiving extra attention from defenders.

"Since last season Gareth is another player. Now all the right-backs in the league find it difficult to stop him," he said.

"I know it is very hard to stop him. Sometimes when he gets the ball and he runs down the left, the right-back says: 'I am going to catch him or wait for him,' but he cannot.

"Then sometimes they foul from the back as you saw against West Brom. But what can you do to stop him?"
