Leave us worry about Bale, AVB warns Modric

Andre Villas-Boas has told Luka Modric to keep his nose out of Tottenham’s business before insisting it would be “completely impossible” for the club to sell Gareth Bale.

Modric, who left Spurs this summer, yesterday urged Bale to come and join him at Real Madrid, telling The Sun: “I know Gareth has a big dream of winning the Champions League and Madrid would be a great club for him to achieve it.”

Bale himself has admitted he would like to play abroad at some stage in his career, but Villas-Boas is keen to hang on to the 23-year-old, who has been in sensational form this season.
