boss Harry Redknapp has again insisted he will not allow any of the
club's top players to leave this summer - and claims Luke Modric is
worth far more than £20 million.GettyImagesGareth Bale has been linked with Inter Milan and Man City in a £40 million move

club's failure to book a second successive season in the Champions
League had led to speculation that some of the bigger clubs in Europe
could cherry pick their stars. But Redknapp says that will not happen.Instead
Redknapp plans to strengthen the team to break back into the top four,
with the task likely to become even harder next season with Liverpool's
Kenny Dalglish expected to spend big."We are not selling Luka, we are not selling Gareth and we are not selling Sandro," he told Sky Sports News. "We are looking to build a team at Tottenham, not dismantle one. "If
we're going to push on as a football club we need to keep them players
and we need to add one or two other top players to them if we're looking
to have a chance of ever getting back in the Champions League again."It's been busy - I've been busy doing nothing really, we haven't got anywhere."There's
been lots of phone calls, lots of talk in the newspapers but we're
really at the moment not close to making any signings and certainly not
looking to sell any of our better players."So we're not looking
to sell them players - that would be a massive backward step for the
club. £20 million for Luka? They've got to be dreaming, he's such a
fantastic player."You know, we've enquired about players and
we're getting quoted more than that for people that couldn't lace his
boots so it's not a goer. I wouldn't put a value on him, I wouldn't want
to sell him. He's one of those boys every day you come into work for
me, and that's what it's about now."I come in and I see him and
he's just a great guy, he trains, gets on with the job, never complains,
he loves his football. He's the most low maintenance, easy to handle
professional you've ever seen and he's a fantastic player so he's the
last player you ever want to see leave your football club - he's
irreplaceable."Modric's advisor also appears to have ruled out a move, with Manchester United one of his suitors. Croatian paper Jutarnji List
quotes Mario Mamic as saying: ''Luka will not go to Manchester United
and he will also stay at Tottenham because I know that chairman Daniel
Levy will not let him go."
