Spurs Transfers: 5 Midfielders Andre Villas-Boas Can Sign Now Joao Moutinho Is Unavailable

4. Luka Modric

Could Luka Modric be set for a sensational return to Tottenham and the Premier League just one year after quitting for Real Madrid in a £30 million deal? The Croatian moved to the Spanish capital 12 months ago and huge things were expected of the creative playmaker. Instead, what has followed has been a season of bigger disappointment that saw him score just three La Liga goals and voted worst signing of the season in Spain in December last year. The midfielder was ineffectual under Jose Mourinho and only managed 8 assists in 52 overall appearances, and with the man who signed him now on his way back to England, he too could be on the next plane back to London as he faces an uncertain future in the capital. It has been speculated that Spurs would be interested in re-signing the midfielder, should the opportunity present itself, while there are even suggestions Real could use him in a player-plus-cash offer in any deal for Gareth Bale.
