Chelsea boss AVB coy over new bid for Tottenham playmaker Modric

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas was coy yesterday over their pursuit of Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.

Villas-Boas would not be drawn on whether Chelsea had made or would make a third bid for Tottenham playmaker Modric, who would add more subtlety to the Blues midfield.

Asked whether his side needed more imagination, he said: "The imagination comes out when you exploit the talent that you have and that is what we try to do.

"We try to get the most out of people and, without repeating myself, I think these people are enjoying the freedom they are given to exploit new things that they thought that they didn't have before.

"We will let them express themselves."
