Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has come out fighting and insisted that Luka Modric will not be sold for any price.

Levy’s comments come after Modric admitted that he would like to move to Chelsea following a derisory £22million bid for the Croatian.

Let’s hope that Levy can now stick to his word and keep our key players at the club this summer.

In a statement on the official Spurs site, he said: “I wish to make it absolutely clear, as I have said previously, that none of our key players will be sold this summer. We are building a team for the future to consistently play at the highest level and retaining quality players is crucial to that.

“In respect of Luka Modric, we are not prepared to sell, at any price, to Chelsea Football Club or any other club.

“We made our stance on this issue abundantly clear in writing to Chelsea. They chose to ignore it and then subsequently made the offer public.

“For the avoidance of any doubt, let me reiterate that we shall not enter into any negotiations whatsoever, with any Club, regarding Luka.

“We now consider this matter closed.”
