This must be regarded as an absolute must for Tottenham, with Gareth Bale, arguably, the best player on the planet behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi at the moment.
The flying Welshman has been on a one man crusade to push Spurs as far up the Premier League table as possible lately, turning in a number of match winning displays against almost every possible opponent.
Naturally such form has alerted football’s superpowers, with Real Madrid keen to take him to the Bernabeu.
It may be tempting to accept £40m-£50m from Daniel Levy’s point of view, but it’s highly unlikely that the North Londoners will be able to bring in a replacement who is half as good as Bale.
