Spurs board identify the ‘new Luka Modric’

Tottenham have reportedly identified Lovro Majer as their next signing – and are in pole position to secure the signature.

The 23-year-old has made an impressive start in Ligue 1 with Rennes after joining this summer, with a host of clubs said to be monitoring his performances.

Conte is said to be looking to bring in a creative midfielder and according to a report cited by FourFourTwo, Spurs are said to be ahead of Manchester United and Bayern Munich in acquiring the services of Majer – who has been dubbed the new Luka Modric.

Majer cost Rennes just over £10million earlier this summer, but could cost Spurs triple that, if they’re to make a move for the Croat in January.
