Redknapp: Tottenham must show wantaway Modric their ambition

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is urging the club to convince unsettled midfielder Luka Modric that the club is capable of winning trophies. The 25-year-old Croatia international stunned Spurs supporters by declaring he wants to leave White Hart Lane, and will have enraged some by announcing Chelsea as his preferred destination.

"I think we have to show him our ambition, which we will do," Redknapp told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.

"If we can add one or two good players to our squad there's no reason we can't have another great season.

"So Tottenham could be a great club for him to stay with for the next few years. That's what we're hoping for."
