Van der Vaart: Spurs can finish in top four without Modric

Rafael van der Vaart insists Tottenham can finish in the top four, even if they sell Luka Modric.

With Chelsea preparing an improved £30million bid for the unsettled Modric, Monday's trip to Manchester United could be the Croatian midfielder's last game in a Spurs shirt.

Van der Vaart said: "There is a lot of speculation about Luka and we don't know when he is going to leave.

"I hope he will stay, but we still have plenty of other fantastic players and a team good enough to finish in the top four.

"Manchester City have spent a lot of money this summer, and so have Manchester United. But we are different at Tottenham, and it's not a problem for me."
