Modric signs new six-year Spurs deal

Croatia midfielder Luka Modric has signed a new six-year contract to keep him at Tottenham until 2016.

The 24-year-old, who joined Spurs from Dinamo Zagreb in summer 2008, had been linked with a big-money move to Manchester United after impressing for the north London club over the past two seasons.

But he today committed his long-term future to Tottenham, insisting he had “no interest in going anywhere else”.
