The Welsh winger admits the opportunity of playing abroad is something he would seriously think about, but he is also clear he is not ready to quit White Hart Lane just yet. Bale made a huge impact whilst playing for Spurs against Inter Milan during last season's Champions League. The 22-year-old scored a sensational hat-trick in a 4-3 defeat at the San Siro, and his performance made top European clubs sit up and notice the prodigious talent. He told The Sun: "I'm happy at Tottenham and do not want to leave yet. But it would never scare me to go abroad. "I left home in Wales to join Southampton when I was 15. I won't be frightened to have a go abroad if that opportunity ever came up. "I'm enjoying my time at Tottenham. And I'm enjoying playing week in, week out. "But if ever something came up in future I wouldn't be frightened of taking that opportunity." Bale admits he has been pleased with the work chairman Daniel Levy has done in keeping Luka Modric at the club during the summer, claiming it was a 'massive statement'. "I think it was a massive statement by the chairman. We're looking to build a good team and a good future for the club. So it is vitally important to keep your best players," Bale said. "I wouldn't say it raised a few eyebrows in the dressing room but it made us realise the club want to build a good team and that the chairman is looking in the same direction as us. "Luka has a contract, the chairman wants to move forward and that's why he wanted to keep Luka." And Bale believes the North London club have a squad good enough to go one better than last season and finish in the top four. He continued: "I know we're not in the Champions League this season but we've got a chance of getting back into it next year. "Hopefully we can do that. There's no reason why we can't. We've certainly got a good enough squad."
