da betcris： Tottenham have rejected a spectacular £40 million bid from Chelsea for Luka Modric, with the Stamford Bridge club foiled in a last-ditch effort to sign the playmaker.
da premier bet： The Croatia international has been the subject of transfer speculation throughout the summer, and has expressed his desire to join Spurs’ London rivals. Despite this, Harry Redknapp and chairman Daniel Levy have stood firm in stating that they would not sell their star player.
In a frantic last day of the transfer window, Redknapp has confirmed that the White Hart Lane outfit turned away a huge last gasp bid from Andre Villas-Boas’ side.
“The chairman stood firm over Luka. I think £40million was apparently offered yesterday. Whether that is true or not, it is what I heard,” the Tottenham boss told Sky Sports News.
“It is a big offer to turn down, that’s for sure. I am delighted the little man is still here and hopefully he will have a great season for us.”
Modric will now go on international duty, and has games against Malta and Israel in the next week; his club boss believes he will return to North London ready to turn out for Spurs.
“He has got two international games this week. There’s good competition.
“Sandro is getting fit, Scott Parker has arrived, Tom Huddlestone. We’ve got good players in the middle of the park so we’re looking forward to it now,” he concluded.
