Ex-Tottenham captain Roberts: Modric must not go for less than £70M

Former Tottenham captain Graham Roberts says they shouldn't sell Luka Modric for less than £70 MILLION.

Modric is the subject of a new bid from Chelsea.

Roberts told talkSPORT: "I don't think £35million is enough [for Modric]. How much would it cost to get a replacement for him?

"He's Tottenham's best player, so why should they sell their best player for £35million to Chelsea. If they want him they should pay £60-70million.

"Every player can say 'well if you don't let me go I'm going to sulk' but, if you let one player get away, you're going to let lots of players get away with it.

"Somebody has got to make a stand and I think Daniel Levy is doing the right thing. If Daniel Levy lets Luka Modric do what he wants this year, then it'll be someone else next year who wants to leave. Tottenham will then just be a selling club again and we don't want to be a selling club, we want to be a top four club."
