GARETH BALE has been tipped to stay at Tottenham after his loan spell ends, according to the Welshman’s agent.
The winger, 31, has returned to the club he left seven years ago for a then-world record £85million.

SunSport exclusively revealed Spurs have the option to extend Bale’s stay for a further year – taking him to the end of his Bernabeu contract.
And his agent Jonathan Barnett confirmed Bale has no plans to return to Madrid following his acrimonious exit.
Reported by the BBC, he said: “I’m sure that if things really worked out well, we’d have no problem.
“This is the club he wants to play at. I don’t see any problems if he wants another year.
“Hopefully the subject [of returning to Real] won’t come up.
“He will be so successful at Tottenham he’ll want to stay and it will be a simple deal to do the rest.”
Bale’s exit from the Bernabeu was welcomed by the Spanish club despite lifting seven pieces of major silverware including four Champions League titles.
Fallings out with supporters and manager Zinedine Zidane that spanned over numerous turbulent years helped contributed to his exit.

Real Madrid then left a frosty 45-word send off to Bale as he sealed his switch to Spurs.
But Barnett believes the player’s contribution to their success means they should “kiss the ground he walks on”.
Reported by the Telegraph, Barnett added: “In my opinion, he wasn’t treated correctly for somebody who’s done so much for a great club.
“I think that things were wrong.
“It’s hard to put one finger on it but I think somebody who has achieved what he has achieved for a club, in seven years, should have been treated better.
“What he’s achieved for Real Madrid, they should be kissing the floor that he walks on.
“I don’t want to blame anybody or go into it.
“I think what the fans did was disgraceful and the club didn’t help. That’s all I really want to get into.”
Bale scored 105 goals and added 68 assists for Madrid in just 251 games.
But he is unlikely to make his debut for another month after suffering a knee injury on international duty.
