Modric is one of the hottest transfer targets in Europe as the
summer approaches, having been linked with a host of Premier League
clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City, as
well as continental giants such as Barcelona, Inter Milan and
Bayern Munich.
Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan reportedly placed an ₤18.5 million bid
for Modric this week, but was rejected in his attempt to bring the
Dinamo Zagreb playmaker to Tyneside.
And according to The Sun, Tottenham have swooped in to
secure the 22-year-old’s signature with a ₤20 million offer and a
five-year deal.
“Everything has been agreed and Modric will be going to Tottenham,”
said a source from Zagreb. “All the details are in place and the
fee is £20m.”
