ข่าวดีGareth to join Fergie in summer
WHIZKID Gareth Bale snubbed a £10milllion move to Tottenham in order to join Manchester United in the summer.

The Southampton starlet visited Tottenham after the clubs agreed a fee.

But Bale, 17, decided to delay making a decision on his future until the end of the season.

The teenager, who faced Sheffield Wednesday last night, is keen to go to Old Trafford and United boss Alex Ferguson sees him as a long-term successor to Ryan Giggs.

Fergie has bid £8m for the left-back with up to £3m of that linked to appearances.

Arsenal are also interested, but will have to match Southamptons £10m asking price.

Bale, who has 18 months left on his current contract, turned down an improved offer from Saints worth £4,000 a week.

But St Marys boss George Burley said: I said all along Gareth would stay with us at least until the end of the season.

His parents are happy for him to continue to learn here and are pleased hes getting a regular game. It makes sense.

I know how hard its been for Gareth to concentrate with all this transfer talk going on. Ive had to put an arm round him and give him a hug.

Southampton have brought in Poland striker Marek Saganowski, 28, from French side Troyes on loan.

And Saints midfielder Simon Gillett, 21, has gone to League One Blackpool until May.
