Spurs close to winning the title, states former midfielder

 

Tottenham are very close to winning the Premier League title, former midfielder Luka Modric has said.

 

The Croatia star spent four years at White Hart Lane, before securing a big money move to Real Madrid in 2012.

 

Modric has excelled for Los Blancos during his time in Spain, but has admitted that his former team are close to securing domestic glory.

 

"I follow them a lot. Almost whenever I can, I watch them playing," Modric told the BBC.

 

"They're playing really well, amazing, they have a good coach and they are very close to winning the league.

 

"And I wish them all the best and cross fingers for them to win it because I think they are capable of [doing it] because they are playing really good football."
