Gareth Bale extends contract with Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur’s stand out player of the season, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 has gone on to pen a four-and-a-half year extension on his current contract with the team, in hopes to end any and all speculations that were liking the player with a move away from the club.
Due to the brilliant form that Bale displayed all season long, it was widely believed that a number of teams across Europe were looking to pursue the player and it seemed like Tottenham just wouldn’t be able to keep hold of the player. However, the 21-year-old
put an end to all those speculations by deciding to stay at Tottenham till 2015.
The player’s stand out performance came in the Champions League this year, when he went on to score a hat-trick against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and skin Maicon – who happens to be one of the best right-backs in the world - alive. However, Bale has a lot more to his
game than just having the ability to score goals. The player can practically play almost anywhere on the pitch. Bale has been played as a left-back, a midfielder and a striker at the club and he has managed to perform brilliantly in all those positions.
Bale manages to inject a sense of creativity and pace to the game and his constant drive to do more, makes him a very vital asset to the team that he is playing for.
So far in his career with Tottenham, Bale has managed to score 17 goals in his 107 appearances for the team. However, out of those 17 goals, 11 have come this season. The player also has a number of assists credited to his name as well.
When talking about Bale and his contract extension at the club, Harry Redknapp is reported to have said, "It's great to have Gareth sign a new contract at the club. He is a fantastic player and the type of player we need to be keeping at Spurs."
"Gareth is now one of the top left-sided players in the world, he really is an amazing talent and can only get better. He is a smashing lad as well which is equally as important." added the Hotspur manager.
Despite Tottenham having gotten Bale to put pen to paper on this contract extension, there still is a giant What If? That floats about. This is because if a team like Barcelona or Real Madrid are to make a massive offer for the player, then Tottenham are
going to have a fight on their hands to try and stop the player from jumping ship.
Despite Tottenham playing some of the best football in their history, the opportunity for Bale to play for one of the biggest teams in the world is going to be a little too hard to resist, at the same time it is also safe to say that Harry Redknapp would
not want to deny the player the opportunity to do so as well.
Nonetheless, the worldwide attention Bale is getting won't distract the player in anyway and needless to say that every time Bale does take to the field for Tottenham, he is going to give a hundred and ten percent for the team.
