Joe Hart has said Gareth Bale is helping to install a 'winning mentality' within the Tottenham Hotspur dressing room.

The 31-year-old scored and completed 90 minutes for the first time this season in the 4-1 win over Wycombe Wanderers on Monday.

Despite Bale's minimal impact on the field, Hart has revealed the Welshman - who has won four Champions League titles - is helping his teammates in other ways.

"We always knew it was going to be a project with Gaz and he fully understands that," Hart told the London Evening Standard.

"He's here to help the team win things and he demonstrated that on the pitch last night and on a few other occasions. Gaz's obviously had his injuries but he knows how to look after himself and when he's fit he's going to help our team.

"He's also doing it behind the scenes. His influence is as you'd expect – he's been there and done it. For a club trying to do things, I think it's important to have guys that have been there and won and can reference what it takes. We talk about it a lot but we're a team that wants to win. There's two teams winning a lot – Man City and Liverpool – and there's seven or eight of us trying to win. So we've got to find different ways of doing it."
