Redknapp praises Modric

28 July 2008 - 00:26

Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp believes that Luka Modric could be an outstanding player for the club this year. Modric has started to show signs of being a real quality player for the club, and his new coach is giving him his backing.

  • Nicolas Jackson is already proving Aston Villa right, Chelsea's gamble looks worse every week
  • How have the five most expensive transfers of the 2026 summer window started the season?
  • Redknapp said: "Modric could be a real star at this club, like he showed against England at Wembley for Croatia last year.



    "He has that amazing football brain. We've got to get him on the ball. He can open things up for you.



    "The last goal against Arsenal we played a little ball into him in a dangerous area, between defence and midfield. He shot and hit the post.



    "Give him the ball. Tell the players we have got to keep supplying him. Eyal Berkovic was the same for me at West Ham and Pompey. Fantastic brain."
