Luka Modric has made it clear he's happy at Real Madrid.

The former Tottenham star feels "honoured" to be pulling on the Merengue shirt.

Modric said: "There are so many great players that have played for Real Madrid ... Looking back, there were Di Stefano, Puskas. More recently Raul and Zidane, one of our coaches.
