Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is hoping that he can match the ambition of Luka Modric. The Croatian midfielder wants to leave for a bigger club and interest from Chelsea has seen the player submit a transfer request.

  • Mikel Arteta insists 27yo star won't be leaving Arsenal
  • Omari Hutchinson wants to continue at Ipswich Town

  • Chelsea have offered a reported 23m GBP fee for Modric, but Tottenham are hoping to keep the midfielder at the club.



    Despite Tottenham best efforts to keep the player, Modric has other ideas.



    Redknapp is hoping that the signing of some new players will keep Modric at the club.



    Redknapp said: "Everyone wants Luka. Just ask Alex Ferguson what he thinks of him, ask Roberto Mancini at Manchester City - they all want him. He could play for Barcelona.



    "Luka wants the chance to win things and he is ambitious. All I'll say is that we are too at Tottenham.



    "It's early days in the transfer market and no-one is more ambitious than our chairman Daniel Levy.



    "Luka wants to know that we'll be right up there challenging next season and we are working hard to bring in a couple of big signings that may convince him to stick with us. I hope so."
