Fulham boss Martin Jol feels former club Tottenham must keep hold of Chelsea and Manchester United target Luka Modric.
Jol feels his old club must stand firm on the Modric situation if they are to challenge the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool for a place in the Champions League again.
"People always say if you sell Carrick or Berbatov, that you are a selling club. In Holland, it is a complement, but in England it is not," said Jol.
"If Spurs can keep Modric, it would be a big difference and give a good start if they want to be champions or in the top four."
