Tottenham manager wants to reassure Spurs fans that star midfielder Luka Modric will not be leaving White Hart Lane. The talented Croatian has been persistently linked with a move to Chelsea for over a year.

But Modric was told last year that a move to Chelsea would be vetoed, and decided to stay at the Lane with Spurs.<br />

An impressive start to the season has been put down to the efforts of new midfield duo Scott Parker and Luka Modric.<br />

Harry Redknapp insists that no move will be welcome for the Croat.<br />

"The chairman has come out and said that he is not for sale so he is not for sale," said Redknapp.<br />

"We need him here. He is a big part of what we've done so far this season. The good form we have been in, he has played a massive part in that, so we are not going to rip our team to pieces halfway through the season.<br />

"We are in there scrapping (for the title). We've got half a chance and he has done great for us so we don't want to lose him.<br />

"We are not going to lose him and he is definitely not going anywhere in January. No chance."
