Tottenham will give Chelsea short shrift over Bale bid

Tottenham are determined to hold onto Gareth Bale through the summer market.

The London Evening Standard says Spurs will block any move for their star player from Chelsea.

Manchester United and Inter Milan are also interested in the 21-year-old after his thrilling performances in ­Tottenham's run to the Champions League quarter-finals, but even a record offer for a British player, surpassing the £35m Liverpool paid Newcastle for Andy Carroll, would not be considered by the north London club.

Despite that, Spurs can expect their best players to be the subject of plenty of interest this summer as Harry ­Redknapp's team now face a tough task to qualify for Europe's elite competition again after Manchester City's 1-0 win at Blackburn last night.
