The Cardiff-born player has been linked with the likes of Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid following his brilliant performances in Premier League and in Europe.
However, Bale was keen to play down the hype surrounding him.
Gareth Bale 'delighted' with influential performance
"I'm not sure what all the fuss is about, it's a bit surreal," he added "Every footballer knows it comes with the game if you're doing well. It's kind of nice.
"Being viewed as a 'hot property' does not make me feel any different than I have been feeling."
Bale said he could not pinpoint as to why he was in the best form of his short career.
"I wouldn't say there's one reason. The team are playing well and it's easier to play in a team playing well. The boys around me and the manager gives us all confidence and that helps the team express themselves," he added.
Meanwhile, former Tottenham midfielder and FA Cup winner Ricky Villa has told the BBC that Bale should be spoken of in the same breath as Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo.
"He played brilliantly and you can compare him to Messi and Ronaldo - a player of that quality," said the 58-year-old 1978 Argentina World Cup winner.
"He has to carry on like that. He has to keep going that way and he should be close to those two players."
