Luka-Parker combo now Spurs’ weapon of choice

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp hopes Luka Modric will soon be back to his best after managing to hold on to the playmaker despite strong interest from Chelsea this summer.

Spurs fans breathed a huge sigh of relief at 11pm on Wednesday night as the transfer deadline passed without Modric moving across the capital to the Blues.

Not even a £40million offer from Roman Abramovich could prevent Spurs chairman Daniel Levy from altering the tough 'not for sale' stance he has held all summer over Modric, despite the Croatian clearly stating he wanted to move to Stamford Bridge.

But now that Chelsea have no chance of signing him - until January at least - Redknapp is hoping the player will knuckle down and form a solid partnership with new signing Scott Parker in midfield.
