Modric reveals Levy threat

TOTTENHAM midfielder Luka Modric claims the club’s chairman Daniel Levy threatened to make him sit in the stands unless he accepted Spurs’ position that he is not for sale.

Modric, 25, has been the subject of a £22 million bid from London rivals Chelsea but Levy rejected the offer and insisted he will not let Spurs’ key man leave, although the player himself claims that stance has broken an agreement the two men struck up last summer.

“I reminded the chairman of our gentleman’s agreement when we were in Dubrovnik last summer and I agreed a contract extension with Tottenham,” Modric said.
