Chelsea boss AVB: Modric? We could go for Nasri!

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas says his midfield signing target may not necessarily be Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric.

Every time Villas-Boas has spoken publicly since his appointment seven-and-a-half weeks ago, he has been faced with questions about Modric.

He gave short shrift to the latest of them, saying: "I just explained to you the sense of urgency in midfield. But it doesn't mean that it's Luka.

"Not that I'm interested, but you have (Samir) Nasri terminating contract.

"He's one of the most exciting players in the Premier League and that's the reality, as well as Luka, as well as other players."
