Modric has admitted he wants to leave Spurs and sign for Chelsea, who have subsequently had two bids turned down by the north Londoners, and his team-mates are in no doubt as to how important a player he is for Harry Redknapp’s men.
“Any team would love to have Luka Modric but he’s our player,” said 28-year-old Jenas according to Sky Sports News.
“It’s great playing with him.
“He’s of fantastic ability but, as was said before, it’s a sensitive subject which I have no control over as a person, or as a friend of Luka’s.
“We’d love to have him at the club.”
Tottenham’s failure to qualify for next season’s Champions League has been cited as a reason why Modric wants to leave the club, but team-mate Gareth Bale is confident an improving Spurs side can finish in the top four.
“I think we’ve probably got one of the strongest squads in the league and there’s no reason why we can’t be at the top challenging as well as qualifying for the Champions League,” he added.
“I think every season every team is improving and that seems to be the normal thing at the moment.”
