Gareth Bale is off to the Bahamas on Tottenham's post-season tour

Gareth Bale is off… to The Bahamas.

The Tottenham star is understood to be part of Andre Villas-Boas’ squad for a post-season tour to the Caribbean islands, which features an exhibition match against Jamaica on Thursday.

Spurs fly to the Bahamas today after missing out on qualification for next season’s Champions League, despite Sunday’s 1-0 win over Sunderland, which featured another stunning Bale goal.

Villas-Boas remains confident the Welshman, 23, will sign a new £150,000-a-week contract and extend his spell at White Hart Lane, but Real Madrid are among the clubs lurking to sign the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year and the Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year.

Speaking in a conference call with local media in the Bahamas, Villas-Boas said: ‘Gareth is going to travel with the team. This is an opportunity for him to touch that fan base that he has around the world, so we are looking forward to him coming and competing.

‘All of our players will be coming down. We have a few developmental players and we hope to bring them all so that they can get the experience.’

Tottenham face Jamaica at the Thomas A Robinson National Stadium on Nassau Paradise Island on Thursday. Afterwards, Villas-Boas will discuss Spurs’ plans for the summer – with Bale’s future top of his to-do list – with chairman Daniel Levy and owner Joe Lewis, the 76-year-old billionaire who is based in the Bahamas.

Confident: Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas believes Bale will stay at White Hart Lane

Fabio Capello’s former No 2 with England, Franco Baldini, is also expected to join Tottenham as technical director as the north London club bid to strengthen again this summer to avoid missing out on a place in the top four next season.

Villas-Boas said: ‘We go to our post-season tour in the Bahamas and (then) we will speak.

‘We have been outlining the route ahead for what we want to do in terms of the club structures and hopefully the arrival of somebody else in the structure for the recruitment side, a technical director, so hopefully we can take those steps forward.

‘We got ever so close, but they (Manchester United, City, Chelsea and Arsenal) will do their job in window, and we will do ours the Tottenham way: scouting properly and look for good grabs in summer window to make it a stronger squad.

‘Will the big clubs be able to lure Bale away? It is very very difficult to lure a player of this dimension away. You have to hold on to your best assets.’

All smiles: But other results meant Tottenham were consigned to another season in the Europa League
