Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy says his club are happy to bide their time in their efforts to sign Southampton's teenage left-back Gareth Bale.

The 17-year-old Wales international is also a target for Manchester United, but Levy says that trying to rush Bale into a decision is not an option worth taking.

He told Sky Sports News: "When you are trying to attract a 17-year-old, it is a very big decision for him and his family and we are giving all the time in the world for them to make a decision.

"January is always a difficult time to buy players and certainly our philosophy here is to end the window, whether it be January or the summer, in a better position than we started.

"Lots of activity often happens in the last couple of days in the window, but I would be very surprised if any of our first-team players were to leave.

"We have a great squad, I think it will improve over time and unless the right opportunity comes up that will take us further, we are not going to do business for the sake of it."
