Bale insists Spurs can handle losing Chelsea target Modric

Gareth Bale insists Tottenham will survive if Luka Modric is sold to Chelsea.

Bale has called on the squad not to mourn the loss of Modric if he does leave.

Bale, like the Croatian, had an outstanding campaign for Spurs last season, and does not want the 25-year-old to leave. He does think, however, that the squad cannot dwell on his departure should he do so.

"Luka is a fantastic player," Bale said. "I'm not sure what the situation is with him but I think if he is here then he's great for the team, but if he's not then we have to get on without him."
