Modric the real star of White Hart Lane

Luka Modric may have failed to hit the headlines this season to quite the same extent that his team mates Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart have managed, with the latter duo excelling in the middle of the park for Spurs in both league action and their Champions League campaign, but there's little doubting who the Spurs fans think is one of the brightest stars in European football right now. It would seem that Harry Redknapp agrees with this assessment, with the Spurs boss revealing that there apparently isn't a sum of money in the world that would tempt him into giving away his prize asset.

With Spurs no doubt already placing one eye on their Champions League quarter-final tie against Real Madrid in early April, there is little doubting that they will be looking to their midfield maestro to continue to prove his commitment to the club with a couple of stellar performances. Although many critics and neutral fans have written off Spurs' chances of reaching the semi-final of the Champions League, players like Modric really are capable of providing that little something special that can so often prove to be the difference against some of the top sides in Europe. The Champions League final odds probably won't feature Spurs, but if they do it will be down to Modric.

Teams such as Chelsea and Manchester United, as well as a few of the continent's leading names on the football stage, have already revealed their interest in taking the star from the North London club at some point in the future, but with Modric signing an unusually long contract just last summer that will last him six years, it looks likely that it will be the Spurs revolution that Redknapp is so keen to lead which will benefit from his involvement for some time yet to come.
