Harry Redknapp has shrugged off Roberto Mancini’s claim that Gareth Bale will be a ‘strong target’.

“Well I don’t know why Roberto would talk about Gareth really. It’s great to have him here and long may he stay at Tottenham,” he told Sky Sports News.

“I don’t see any way that he’s going to be looking to move. He doesn’t want to move and we don’t want to sell him.

“If you’re building a football club you don’t sell young players like Gareth Bale. So he’s here to stay hopefully.”
