Tottenham rebel Luka Modric goes on strike
Posted Monday, August 22, 2011 by The Sun
LUKA MODRIC went on strike yesterday as Chelsea lodged an official £30million bid for the wantaway Tottenham star.
Modric, 25, refused to travel for tonight's Premier League clash at Manchester United.
And the Spurs midfielder has told boss Harry Redknapp he has no intention of playing for the club again.
Redknapp had hoped Modric would be fit for Old Trafford after beating a minor groin injury.
Yet he claimed last night: "Someone has turned Luka's head. Luka will not be with us tomorrow.
"He has a bit of an injury he could have played through but his head's not in the right place at present. We need to get it all sorted out."
A Spurs insider admitted: "Luka is desperate to leave and join Chelsea.
"It is hard to see a way back for him, especially after he has refused to play in such a crucial match."
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy will be furious at Modric's rebellion and may even try to force him to join the team today.
