Tottenham insist Luka Modric will travel to South Africa for their preseason tour.
Despite the intense interest from Chelsea, Spurs are adamant Modric is staying.
The club are insistent that all their first-team squad will fly to the country, where they are scheduled to play in a tournament with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. Spurs' first match is on Saturday.
Modric's representative Nikki Arthur Vuksan confirmed the player will be going on the trip.
"Of course Luka will be going to South Africa. He is a Tottenham player and he has a contract there," he said.
