Vedran Corluka doesn’t expect playmaker Luka Modric to stay at Tottenham next season.

The defender, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Bayer Leverkusen from the White Hart Lane club, believes Spurs’ failure to secure Champions League football will force his Croatia teammate to look elsewhere.

“We all know it will be very difficult for Spurs to keep Luka because they do not have Champions League football next season,” he said in The Sun newspaper.

“Luka is one of the best players in the world and the kind who wants to play in the best competition.

“Not getting into the Champions League will cost Spurs next season, even though they were unlucky to get fourth place and still not be there.”
