Since arriving at Tottenham in 2008, Luka Modric has never looked back making a name for himself as a capable playmaker, creative and highly skilful. Following last summer’s non-stop link to Chelsea, Tottenham and in particular Chairman Daniel Levy’s resistance to the Chelsea bid emphasised how Tottenham were keen to not become a selling club and challenge for a top 4 place, which they delivered upon this season. However, it appears clear that Modric wants to move on, at his prime stage in his career. Is Modric being held back by staying at Tottenham or should he move on to bigger and better things by moving this summer?
