Modric dismisses exit rumors

Tottenham playmaker Luka Modric has rejected speculation he could leave for a Premier League rival or move abroad.

The Croatia international has been linked with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea recently along with Spanish champions Barcelona.

The 25-year-old insists there is no truth in the rumours that he will depart White Hart Lane, stating he is happy with the North Londoners.

Modric is growing tired of the speculation surrounding his future as he committed his long-term future to the club as recently as last May after penning a six-year contract.

"There's no truth in all these rumours," he told Sportskenovosti.

"The only truth is that I'm a Tottenham player and I'm happy to be where I am. I'm fully focused on my job.

"Following my arrival in 2008 every transfer window is the same. Newspapers are always talking about me moving away.

"The story is always the same. Chelsea, Manchester United, Barcelona and so on. Every time it's the same stories and I even saw them last June when I signed my new contract with Tottenham!

"My future? Who knows what the future will bring, but I'm a Tottenham player and I'm happy to be at White Hart Lane."
