RB Leipzig attacker Olmo admits admiration for Real Madrid midfielder Modric

RB Leipzig attacker Dani Olmo has admitted his admiration for Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric.

The Spain international spent time at Dinamo Zagreb before leaving for RBL.

Olmo said: “Yes. I really like watching games, analysing them with him. I know players from the vast majority of teams.

“After Spain I really like Croatia. Modric seems to me to be another level of player. How he interprets the game, his control of the ball…

"He's one of the ones I pay attention to now that I play as a midfielder, in more central positions. Modric is a reference point."
