Luka Modric joins Tottenham Hotspur

Finally after a few days of gossip and rumours around Croatian footballer Luka Modric (last tuesday he was spotted at Newcastle), the Tottenham board officially announced they had signed an agreement with Modric. Under the terms of the transfer agreement, Tottenham will pay Dinamo Zagreb €2,1 million in instalments of four years. Luka’s contract is for a period of up to six years and he will join in the summer subject to a medical test and work permit.

Spurs manager Juande Ramos is looking to add technique and skill to the team by signing quality players such as Luka after a rather disappointing season 2007-2008. Modric can play as a left midfielder, but also in a central playmaker role.

Modric himself was saying that manager Ramos was one of the main factors for his move. He also revealed that he is very ambitious and wants to play in the champions league or uefa cup with the Spurs.
