Luka signs new six-year contract


The Club is delighted to announce that Luka Modric has signed a new six-year contract which runs until 2016.

Speaking about his new contract and future ambitions, Luka said, "Tottenham Hotspur gave me my chance in the Premier League and I want to go on to achieve great success here with them. Yes, there have been enquiries from other big clubs, but I have no interest in going anywhere. Last season's Top 4 finish was an indication of where we are as a Club and I feel I can continue to improve and go on to achieve everything I want to at Spurs."

The Croatia midfielder arrived at White Hart Lane from Dinamo Zagreb in July, 2008 on the back of a starring role with his country in the European Championships and having played a big part in Dinamo's three successive league title triumphs.

The 24-year-old playmaker has gone on to establish himself as a key player in Harry Redknapp's side with impressive displays on the left flank and in central midfield, clocking up a total of 77 appearances in our colours and scoring eight times including a memorable winner against Chelsea at the Lane in March 2009.

Great News!

This ranks along side bale signing a new deal last earlier this month. Its fab news! Modric can/will be phonominal in the coming seasons.
 
Great to hear Luka will be tearing up defenses both at prem and in the CL next year!

As much as I like Luka Modric and the fact that he has signed a new deal, I will always be sceptical because there have been loads of players who have demanded a transfer to one of the real top clubs. I have to admit though that the comments Luka himself gave were very encouraging.

Great news but i dont believe he will be here for the 6 year duration, if he keeps improving and has a couple of outstanding seasons i think a bigger club will be in for the swoop. Love Luka but hes got to hit the back of the net more.

There's no reason why we can't be a "big european force" in the next few years. I think we are on the right track and with commitment by the board and coaching staff we can surley aim for CL every season. I may be getting ahead of myself, im just saying we have to aim high and really persue where we want to be, so with hard work and no silly managments decisions regarding coaches and players, i reall think we can be a a top side in europe.
