Tottenham’s surge in results and performances in the 2010-11 season have not come without worries as it has already been revealed that various top European clubs have been scouting their left midfielder Gareth Bale.
Bale has been instrumental in Tottenham’s progression in the UEFA Champions League thus far as he scored a hat-trick against Inter Milan before scoring another goal and adding two assists against the European Champions on the return leg at the White Hart
Lane.
Bale’s greatest achievement has been his improvement about pace. His sprint speed has resulted from the training that he received at Tottenham in the summer. This rise to stardom has associated Bale to a move away from Tottenham to greater European avenues
like AC Milan and Real Madrid. However, Tottenham’s chief executive Levy has come out and stated that the Welsh winger is not for sale at any price.
Levy remarked, “I've never deemed us to be a selling club, if you look at the big transfers which have taken place since I've been chairman. Both (Dimitar) Berbatov and Michael Carrick had two years left on their contract, both players wanted to go and that
was the reason they were sold. But in the case of Gareth he's got a long contract and I can assure you he will not be sold."
He also spoke about the rumours that Tottenham will indulge in extensive business in the winter transfer window. Levy was cautious at the approach to the January transfer window as he said, "The January transfer window is again upon us. We currently have
the largest squad in the Premier League. We shall look to rationalise. Overall, we do not anticipate a busy transfer window."
Levy also elaborated on the suggestions that Harry Redknapp is next line to replace the English national team manager Fabio Capello. He clarified the situation as he said, "Harry is on a long-term contract. If and when they contact us we will have to deal
with it accordingly.”
Tottenham have greatly improved as a football club ever since Harry Redknapp took over at the beginning of last year when they were in the bottom half of the English Premier League.
