Ferdinand: Tottenham Must Keep Modric Away From Chelsea

Tottenham coach Les Ferdinand says the staff are united over keeping hold of Luka Modric.

Ferdinand insists Spurs must fight off Chelsea’s push for the midfielder.

He told talkSPORT: “We’ve been saying for the last few years now if we get into the Champions League it was imperative that we keep hold of our best players.

“If you want to be competitive in this league, challenge for the top four and have aspirations of challenging for the title then you need to keep the likes of Luka Modric and it is up to us to try and keep hold of him and Gareth Bale.”
