Gareth Bale plays down Tottenham Hotspur exit talk

Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale has insisted that he takes "no notice" of the rumours linking him with a move away from White Hart Lane.

The Welshman, who scooped a PFA double on Sunday night, has frequently been linked with a switch away from North London, with Barcelona and Real Madrid touted as his likely destinations.

However, the 23-year-old is adamant that Spurs remains his primary focus at the moment.

"I just take no notice, it's all speculation, I can't do anything about it," Bale told Sky Sports News.

"I just concentrate on my football and play as well as I can and do my best for the team."

Bale joined Spurs from Southampton in 2007.
