Villas-Boas thinks Bale will be kept

As Gareth Bale sweeps all the awards, the speculation about his future intensifies, but Tottenham Hotspur will not be selling its most prized asset, according to coach Andre Villas-Boas.

Welshman Bale was named Footballer of the Year by England's soccer writers on Thursday after picking up the PFA Young Player and Player of the Year last weekend.

He is regularly linked with Europe's top clubs.
