    Simpson: Newcastle can count on me until summer exit

    Newcastle United defender Danny Simpson has insisted he will give his all for the club ahead of his departure in summer.

    The 26-year-old rejected the Magpies' most recent contract offer and is set to leave St James' Park on a free transfer at the end of the season.

    Bale is under contract until 2016 after signing a four-year deal last summer and Spurs feel they have enough security to keep him for at least one more season, as long as they finish in the top four and the player does not push for a transfer in the same manner as Modric and Dimitar Berbatov have in recent years.

    Bale has barely hidden his desire to one day test himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world and would prefer a move abroad, with Barcelona and Real Madrid long-term suitors and Cristiano Ronaldo his idol.

    But he is thriving in the free role afforded him by his Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas and has been in the form of his life since the turn of the year. Tottenham staff consider Bale a model professional and feel he will strongly consider giving the club another year as the ‘main man’.

    Bale joined Spurs from Southampton in 2007 and the Wales international had to wait 24 games to win a Premier League match.
