Chelsea will not make a January transfer move for Tottenham attacking midfielder Luka Modric, as it appears that Andre Villas-Boas has turned his trasnfer attentions to other areas of the pitch, such as defence.

Man Utd can finally sign Ederson for huge bargain fee

Gary Cahill is expected to complete a move from Bolton to Chelsea in the next two weeks, whilst Chelsea have also been considering a move for another striker once Nicolas Anelka leaves the Blues for Shanghai Shenhua in China.<br />

Andre Villas-Boas will not be contacting Tottenham regarding Croatian international Modric though, as a move for the player has been ruled out by both Chelsea insiders and Modric representatives.<br />

In addition, Modric is also in discussions with Tottenham regarding a brand new contract at White Hart Lane; and that deal is expected to earn the Croat around 115,000 GBP per week and make the player the top earner at Spurs.
