Tottenham<\/a> manager Harry Redknapp<\/a> has insisted that there is \u201cnot a chance\u201d that Luka Modric<\/a> will move to Chelsea<\/a> in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

The Blues\u2019 interest in the Croatian midfielder was the subject of one of the summer\u2019s longest-running sagas, with Spurs holding firm to keep their playmaker, and the boss believes that his player is now settled again at White Hart Lane.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what Chelsea offer he isn\u2019t going, not a chance,\u201d Redknapp told reporters ahead of the two sides\u2019 Premier League clash on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe chairman has said he is not moving. No one is leaving here that we don’t want to get rid of.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re not selling anyone we don’t to sell, for sure. He’s said that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Spurs coach admitted that he is unsure of the progress in negotiations with the Croatian over a new contract but is confident that Modric will be keen to stay at White Hart Lane.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know where they\u2019re at on negotiations for a new contract,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure that will get sorted out and get resolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s happy here, he\u2019s not a problem and he\u2019s playing fantastic football. So I don\u2019t see there being a problem with Luka.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t expect Luka to want to go anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Redknapp had caused a stir during the summer transfer saga when he admitted that he was not sure that Tottenham could match Modric\u2019s ambitions, and the 64-year-old defended his views.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put myself in a position where I could have caused myself a problem with the club, in all honesty, because I said what I felt,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“I came out and said I could understand where he was coming from. It\u2019s difficult, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s be honest, if you\u2019re getting 35 grand a week and someone\u2019s going to offer you 100, it\u2019s still massive, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to secure your future forever. It\u2019s difficult to turn that down.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut thankfully he\u2019s here. The chairman came out and I\u2019m with him all the way now. We\u2019ve got to keep Luka.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ex-Portsmouth manager also criticised Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas for hitting out at television pundit Gary Neville over comments the former Manchester United defender made about David Luiz.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can’t have the praise one minute and then not like it when you get a bit of criticism,\u201d Redknapp declared.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou’ve got to take it all or not at all. You can’t just take the stuff when they say how good you are and what a wonderful coach you are. You just have to get on with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cGary Neville gets paid to have an opinion, doesn’t he?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tottenham hold a two-point advantage over Chelsea going into Thursday night\u2019s match at White Hart Lane.<\/p>\n
