Interviewed by The Sun, Tottenham wingback Gareth Bale has declared:"I have three years left on my contract and I'm very happy at Tottenham. In a way it's flattering, a good feeling when you get linked with very big clubs. It's a compliment but it doesn't affect the way I play at all, it doesn't ever go to my head. It's a nice feeling to know those clubs are looking at you. I don't know whether they are or not. Some of it might just be pure speculation, you never know. The point when it turns your head is when that speculation turns to reality and a bid is accepted. If you are talking about Barcelona or Real Madrid, two of the biggest clubs in the world, then it's a bit like Harry and England, it's a once-in-a-lifetime dream. If you said to any young player that you could play for Barcelona or Real would they turn it down? Probably not. If it happens you would have to look very seriously at the situation. If a bid was accepted you would obviously have to seriously consider it. But that has not happened so, at the moment, I'm just concentrating on Tottenham".
