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.

The most important transfer news of the Summer, along with Bale's new contract.

brilliant

6 years! Fantastic news!! Is that a two or three years extension? Either way, quite a commitment from Luka, great follow-up from the new Bale deal (and Ledley, but he wouldnt go anywhere anyway, Spurs through and through) - most important thing for this summer to keep these two, Lennon and Gomes away from a move to Manure or the like, we've come quite a way in achieving this now.

Great, great signing!

New contracts for Bale and Modders. Plus hopefully Gomes next will be just as crucial signings as the signing of a top class striker. Defo.

And Modric feels he will be able to satisfy his ambitions at Tottenham.
He told the club's website: "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 four 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."

So you can go and take a jump Chavski and ManScum !!!! Integrity is key and Berbatoss is a MF ...

Tremendous.

Great News indeed! 6 years and he seems to be happy at Spurs judging by his comments. Bale on the other hand only signed on for another 4 years.

 

[Raxscallion]

This is almost as good as the 4th place finish!

Luka plays for the club, not just for the lucre.


(Y'see what I did there?) ;-)

brilliant news!

 

[markiespurs]

Triffic stuff.

well done Harry and Levy for moving fast to keep our top players at the club :clap:

Now just to give Gomes a new contract and it will already be a good summers worth of business.

 

[jaja]

Best signing of the summer.

100% agree - Biggest benefit of finishing top 4 is hanging on to the likes of modric.

 

[nightgoat]

Awesome stuff...

 

[Spurger King]

Only just found this out. Brilliant news!

As far as I'm concerned, keeping Modric and Bale means we've already had a great transfer window, regardless of what happens between now and next season.
