Wilkins says Spurs will struggle to keep Modric away from Chelsea

Chelsea hero Ray Wilkins can't see Tottenham keeping hold of Luka Modric this summer.

The Croatia midfielder is a target for Chelsea.

Wilkins told talkSPORT: "I don't think it'll be too long before Chelsea start dipping into the [transfer] market.

"There will be some big names coming in and there will probably be a few disappearing as well.

"I think it will be extremely difficult for Tottenham to hold on to Modric if you look at the numbers being thrown around.

"Modric is wonderfully talented but football is a job of work and if someone offers more money to go elsewhere, no matter what business or what vocation they have in life, they will leave and go for something better."
