Bond set on Bale making a better case for the defence with Spurs

Gareth Bale is having extra coaching sessions with Tottenham No 2 Kevin Bond to learn how to be a better defender. The Spurs left back has struggled to hold down a first-team place since arriving at White Hart Lane two years ago for £5million. The 19-year-old is an established member of the Wales side but admits he needs to improve to make his mark at club level. Bale, preparing to face Finland and Germany in a World Cup qualifying double-header, told The Sun: 'I love to get forward and attack and with Wales there is more licence for me to get forward as I play wing back. 'But I need to improve my defensive side. I've been working hard on it and hopefully it will pay off.' 'Kevin Bond takes a group of us and I am learning.'
