Tottenham defender Kyle Walker has admitted that selling Luka Modric would be a “massive loss” to Spurs with the club looking to be facing a battle to keep the Croatian at White Hart Lane.

The midfielder has been quoted as saying he wants to leave Tottenham and has hinted at being interested in a move to Chelsea after the Blues had a £22 million bid rejected although chairman Daniel Levy has since insisted the Croatian is not for sale “at any price”.

Walker, currently in Denmark on England Under-21 duty, meanwhile, is aware of Modric’s value and admitted that he was hopeful he could be persuaded to stay in north London.

“He’d be a massive loss,” he said according to The Mirror.

“But, hopefully, Spurs is not a selling club and hopefully they keep hold of him and keep going forward.”

Walker also went on to praise Modric further insisting he was a great asset for Spurs both on and off the pitch.

“He’s a fantastic player, to be fair,” he added.

“He’s hard to get the ball off in training and he’s good to have around, good to give the ball to.

“He gets you out of trouble and I think he’s a fantastic player.”
