Gareth Bale wants Premier League exit

Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale has reiterated his desire to play abroad in the future.

The Welshman has been linked with a move to Spain, with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid reportedly interested in the player.

The 23-year-old signed a new contract with Spurs earlier this year, but has admitted that he wants to experience foreign football.

"It would be nice to experience other leagues and other cultures," Bale said. "I've always said I'm not afraid to go abroad. If the times comes and a team that's right comes in for me, then I'll look at it seriously. I'll see what happens.

"Everybody wants to be playing in the Champions League. Obviously we were unfortunate not to get in there last season but the UEFA Europa League is the next best thing.

"We've all put 100% in every game we have played, we've taken the competition seriously and hopefully we can win this one."

Bale joined Spurs from Southampton in 2007.
