Tottenham assistant manager Steffen Freund says Gareth Bale is feeling "positive", despite doubts over the forward's future at the club.
.
Spurs failed to qualify for next season's Champions League to heighten speculation that Wales international Bale, 23, could leave this summer.
.
"He's really positive," said Freund, after Tottenham returned from a post-season tour to the Bahamas.
.
Gareth Bale scored 26 goals in all competitions for Tottenham in 2012-13 and was voted PFA Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.
.
"He's enjoying playing for Spurs, he's enjoying being with his team-mates."
.
The German added: "Hopefully, he understands it would be great for him to play another year, or maybe all three years on his contract, for Spurs to grow.
.
"Maybe we can go all the way to the Champions League next season, maybe we can win some silverware and cup games."
.
Tottenham missed out on a Champions League place on the final day of the season as they were beaten to a top-four spot by rivals Arsenal.
.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has already stated it is vital the club keep their star player.
.
"We are really close to the top four and that's why maybe with him as a leader in the future that would be great," said Freund.
