Bale flattered by Barcelona interest

Tottenham and Wales winger Gareth Bale admits that he is flattered to have been linked with a move to Barcelona, but insists his long term future remains with Spurs for the time being.

Gareth Bale last week had been linked with a shock 35m GBP move to the Nou Camp, but Tottenham have been quick to scoff talk of a transfer away.


However, yesterday the Welshman confirmed that he was surprised and flattered to hear of Barca's interest: 


"It's always nice being linked with clubs such as Barcelona - it's great to be linked with a team like that," he said.


"I'm enjoying my football at Spurs and I don't really take much notice of what is written about interest from other clubs."
