Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric has stated that he will not leave the North London club in the January transfer window, and does not want a repeat of the summer’s speculation.
The Croatia international was the subject of a number of transfer bids from Chelsea back in the last window, with uncertainty over the midfielder’s future reacting adversely on Spurs’ start to the season.
Despite admitting that he will assess his situation at the end of the season, Modric has stated that he will remain at White Hart Lane for the next six months.
“All that is stated in the press I have read it, but I have no other knowledge about any alleged offers, I don’t even have the time to bother looking,” Modric told Sportske Novosti.
“Considering all the circumstances, and the primary fact that I do not want to go through what I did over the summer transfer period, I say that almost 100 per cent I will certainly stay at Tottenham until the summer.
“A small percentage you always have to leave as there is always a theoretical possibility if the club gets such an offer for me that they cannot refuse.
“However, the reality is that I will stay with Spurs until June and then we will see.
“All options are then possible, but as far as it is now I am not bothered, I just want to be healthy and playing well, everything else will just go on.
“The fact I will stay at Tottenham means nothing will change in my relationship with Spurs and I will still give everything in each game,” he concluded.
The news will come as great relief to Harry Redknapp and Tottenham, as they continue their charge for a top four finish.
