Gareth Bale has handed Tottenham a boost by confirming he will be at White Hart Lane next season. The Welsh winger, a revelation at Spurs this term, had been linked with a move away from North London in the summer, despite penning a new long-term deal at the club back in March. Bale has reportedly turned heads across Europe, with Inter Milan and Real Madrid among those thought to be interested following his UEFA Champions League heroics for Tottenham this term, including his infamous hat-trick at the San Siro. But the 21-year-old has reassured fans he intends to remain at Spurs and help them fight to better this season's fifth-placed Premier League finish.When asked byif he was staying at the Lane next season, Bale replied: "Yes, I just signed a new contract recently. "I fully believe that we've got a good enough squad to challenge for the fourth spot next season." Bale admits that playing abroad would one day appeal to him, with Barcelona being one possible destination, but he insists he is happy at Tottenham for now. "I left home when I was 15 and it was quite difficult then but if I have to move abroad then it's something I wouldn't be scared of," said Bale. "Barcelona play great, great, football but I'm happy where I am. "I'm focused on what we want to achieve as a team next season and I'm enjoying my football here. I'm still 21, I'm getting a good run in the team and I'm still learning my football." Bale hopes Harry Redknapp will follow his lead and remain at Tottenham amid speculation the manager could move to Chelsea following Carlo Ancelotti's sacking. Speaking of Redknapp, the Wales international added: "I don't think anybody at the club wants to see him go and I'm sure they're doing all they can to keep him there."He's been massive in what he's done at the club. "When he first came here we were in the relegation zone. He's taken us from relegation to Champions League and he's turned us completely upside down and into the team we wanted to be." Bale believes Tottenham must invest in the summer if they want to compete for a Champions League spot next term, adding: "It's going to be very difficult, obviously, with all the other teams spending and making their squads better. "Hopefully we can do the same, invest in a few good players, kick on next season and do one better than we did this season."
