Legend Tells Club – Go Buy Modric In January

Chelsea legend Ron ‘Chopper’ Harris has backed his former club to rekindle their interest in Tottenham’s Luka Modric this January.

Modric was subject to intense speculation in the summer with both Chelsea and Man Utd making enquiries for the Croatian schemer. It was Chelsea who pushed hardest to land the midfielder, submitting several bids including a £40m offer on transfer deadline day.

However, Tottenham stood firm and refused to do business and Modric remained at White Hart Lane. Its thought the Blues will come back in for the 26-year-old during the January transfer window, and Harris feels this would be a wise move for Chelsea if they can persuade Tottenham to sell:

“Modric is a very gifted player. Chelsea need impetus and Modric can provide that,” Harris, who played 795 times for the Blues, told the Daily Star Sunday.

“It’s just a question of whether or not Spurs can keep hold of him. They know Chelsea will break the bank to get him and can probably double his wages.”
