One of football's greatest has high praise for Spurs star

Real Madrid's director of football Zinedine Zidane has added fuel to the fire surrounding the future of Gareth Bale by admitting that the Spurs wonder is “unique", according to The Sun.

The famous French head butt seems again to be sticking his head in where it doesn't belong, at least as far as similar shampoo-shy Daniel Levy is concerned. This tussle might be a bit more two sided however has Levy has history in stubbornly holding on to his key stars or losing them for full value as Dimitar Berbatov and Luka Modric will confess.

Whilst this might not be the first (or the last) time Bale will be linked with a move away from White Hart Lane this statement from somebody so high up in the Real food chain will only make such speculation worse.

Andre Villas-Boas will also be hoping that the Welsh wizard remains at the lily-whites next season which could ultimately depend on Tottenham's ability to maintain their top four position in the Premier League this season.

It's set to be another frantic summer transfer window and Bale could be making the headlines over the summer just as he has been doing all season long. Once this latest round of gossip has subsided it has to be wondered what Bale will do next to keep his grasp over the media spotlight...
