Luka Modric staying put at Spurs

Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp has potentially ended any interest Chelsea and Man Utd had in talisman midfielder Luka Modric, after announcing that the player would be staying put for next season.

According to reports, Chelsea and Man Utd were both interested in the Croatian attacking midfielder.

"If clubs the size of Manchester United and Chelsea are prepared to offer him Champions League football and massive wages, you would have to be very naive to think it wouldn't turn Luka's head," Harry Redknapp told the Sunday Mirror.

"But I have been assured by the chairman that he is not prepared to sell him under any circumstances.

"And it's fair to say he's not happy about the unwanted attention and continuing speculation surrounding Luka.

"I have said on many occasions he is irreplaceable and it would be a massive disaster for the club if he was allowed to leave."
