Tottenham Hotspur's star midfielder Gareth Bale gave the club a big boost on Saturday when he signed a new four and a half-year contract with the club, keeping him in London until 2015.
The 21-year-old Wales international has been linked with a host of Europe's top clubs but said the way Tottenham have played this year convinced him that he is in the right place.
"I want us to keep going forward as a team and hopefully we can achieve big things," Bale said.
"We have got a great squad that is still young and we are going places.
"It is great to commit to this club and hopefully we can achieve what we believe we can with this squad. The players want what the fans want, and performing in front of these fans is a special experience.
"I definitely believe we can challenge for a title very soon. That is why I have signed. Every year as a minimum we are aiming to qualify for the Champions League so we are definitely going in the right direction."
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said he was delighted to hang on to one of his biggest assets.
"It's great to have Gareth sign a new contract at the club," he said. "He is a fantastic player and the type of player we need to be keeping at Spurs.
"Gareth is now one of the top left sided players in the world, he really is an amazing talent and can only get better. He is a smashing lad as well which is equally as important.?
"He has got his whole future ahead and he has everything going for him."
