Spurs to mount summer transfer spending spree in bid to keep Luka Modric
Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is preparing to make at least ‘one or two’ major transfer signings this summer in a last-ditch bid to keep wantaway midfielder Luka Modric out of Chelsea’s clutches.
Redknapp is keen to bring in at least ‘one or two’ big names to prove to the Croatian that he doesn’t need to leave Spurs to win titles, with world stars like Samuel Eto’o and David Villa already being mentioned around White Hart Lane.
Chelsea signed Liverpool striker Fernando Torres in January for £50million to show their ambition to prize the Premier League title away from Manchester United and mount a serious challenge in Europe.
And while Redknapp knows he doesn’t have Roman Abramovich’s spending power behind him, the former Portsmouth boss believes he can work the system to his advantage by picking up stellar names at bargain prices - as he did with Rafael van der Vaart last summer - to keep Modric happy.
‘We have to show him our ambition,’ Redknapp said. ‘If we can add one or two top players to our squad there’s no reason we can’t have another great season and Tottenham could be a great club for him stay at for the next few years.
‘He wants to win the league and play in the Champions League – [Spurs] want that as well.’
Redknapp revealed he had been contacted by a number of other big clubs in England, after speculation that both Manchester United and Manchester City had approached Spurs before Chelsea’s initial offer of £22million was turned down.
And the manager also admitted that, unless he can talk Modric round or find the right calibre of player to persuade him to stay, the Croatian would almost certainly leave.
‘Chelsea’s not the only club that’s been in for him - there are some other top, top clubs interested,’ he continued.
‘But it’s difficult to keep a player if he’s not happy - his head will go down and his form will suffer. I’ve seen that happen too many times.’
Modric claimed on Saturday that he had an agreement with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy that the club would listen to offers from bigger clubs, if they arrived.
And his most recent statement suggested Stamford Bridge is his preferred destination, despite Levy’s suggestion the midfielder ‘is not for sale at any price’.
‘Chelsea are a big club with an ambitious owner,’ he said.
‘They have great players and they have ambitions to fight for the title and win the Champions League.
‘I have enjoyed my time [at Tottenham], but now it is right for me to look at another club.’
