LUKA MODRIC: "I would like to go to Chelsea!"

Wow! After a week of speculation and abuse on here from Tottenham fans, Harry Redknapp stating Chelsea's bid was "Ridiculous" and that "Tottenham would never sell Modric" guess what!, The player himself has come out and said "I would like to go to Chelsea!"

Now how amazing is that!?. The full quote taken from The Guardian reads:

"I would like to go to Chelsea. A lot of players would like to go there and play for Chelsea because it is one of the best clubs in the world, and so do I. I would like to play there. But we will see what will happen. Chelsea are a great club, they play in the Champions League every year, they have great players, they are ambitious and have an ambitious owner who wants to invest in the club and make it win the Champions League, the Premier League and other titles.

They are going in a great direction and everything about the club is very good. They [Chelsea] are the only one who sent an offer and they are at the moment my first choice.

I don't want to fight and argue with Tottenham, I'll want to go in a good way, a friendly way so I can stay friends with them. I have spent three great years there and the fans are great, the club is great.

I love them and they love me but that's the way it is and I have to think what is best for my career. But first I need to speak to the chairman [Daniel Levy] and see his view on everything. I don't know when that will be, but soon.

It's a short period [your career] and you want to fulfil your personal ambitions as a football player, win trophies, play Champions League football every year.

That is what I want. Last season it was the first time I had played in the Champions League and it was amazing. It's a great competition, the best in the world, and I would like to play in it again. I would like to play in it this year – it's going to be difficult to play without the Champions League.

I want to stay in London. I am very happy here and so are my family, Spurs will always have a place in my heart [but] my experiences in the Champions League have left me with the desire for more.

I need to talk with the chairman. I won't ask for a transfer, no. That would be disrespectful.

I hope they can reach an agreement [with another club] that is satisfactory for everyone. I am on holiday [until 6 July], but I need to speak and to see if I can find a solution to this."

So Chelsea fans all over the world what do you think about Modric's desire to come to the Bridge?
