Wales manager Chris Coleman insists that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gareth Bale can still improve as a player.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has insisted that Gareth Bale will continue to improve as a player the more he gets used to the attention that his impressive form has attracted.

Bale has continued to excel for club and country this season and that has led to the 23-year-old being linked with the likes of Real Madrid. However, Coleman believes that the winger still have plenty of room for improvement.

Coleman told Radio Wales Sport: "I'm not sure he realises how good he is yet because he's still relatively young. When he gets to 27 or 28 coming into his own, God knows how good he's going to be."

"You look at his performances and you think how can he get better? But I think he will, the more he plays and the more he plays at that [top] level it's a pressure cooker for him, because everybody wants to stop him.

"He's getting used to that, so he's only going to get better."

Bale has scored seven goals in 16 appearances for Spurs this season.
