He scored 8 goals in the last 6 games. He led the Spurs to 3rd in the Premier League and has been named Premier League Player of the month. He scored match-winning goals against West Brom, Newcastle and West Ham – his name is Gareth Bale.
Tottenham and chairman Daniel Levy know how important Bale for the Spurs is and want to make Bale the highest paid player in the history of the club. Bale just extended his contract last June until 2016. However, Tottenham wants to improve his salary from £75,000-a-week to £130,000 a week in order to fight off the interests of Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus Turin and Paris St-Germain. However, according to different sources, the deal depends on whether or not Tottenham can qualify for the Champions League this season.
Bale has been in significant form. He started in 23 Premier League games and already scored 15 goals this season. However, Bale wants Champions League football and it is unlikely that Bale would stay at Tottenham another year playing in the Europa League. Real Madrid and Barcelona are prepared to pay him a significant wage and it is believed they are willing to pay a significant transfer fee. Real Madrid bought Luka Modric last summer.
Tottenham is currently third in the Premier League with 51 points only 5 points behind Manchester City. However, Chelsea (49 points) and Arsenal (47 points) challenging Villas-Boas teams for the Champions League spot.
Bale has been in such good form and the winger and his team will face Arsenal in a great North London derby on Sunday, March 3rd.
