Want-away Modric leads Spurs against Pirates

19 July 2011 20:00

Want-away midfielder Luka Modric captained Tottenham Hotspur Tuesday in a Vodacom Challenge tournament match against Orlando Pirates in this eastern city.

The Croat wishes to join London rivals Chelsea, who have had two offers of more than 20 million pounds ($32 million) rejected with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy insisting none of his leading footballers are for sale.

An ankle injury ruled Modric out of the opening Challenge match last Saturday in which 2011 Champions League quarter-finalists Tottenham conceded a stoppage-time goal to lose 1-0 against Kaizer Chiefs.
