Biography

Luka Modric

The Croatian international midfielder completed his move from Dinamo Zagreb in July 2008 and enjoyed an impressive first season in English football.

Luka scored five goals in 43 appearances, including a memorable winner over Chelsea at The Lane in March 2009.

Recognised as one of the best young midfielders in world football, he can operate either behind the strikers or coming off either flank.

Luka played a key role in Croatia's run to the quarter-finals of Euro 2008 and was widely regarded as one of the players of the tournament.

Luka joined Dinamo in 2002 at the age of 16 before being loaned out to Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar, where he earned the honour of Bosnian Player of the Year in his one season there.

In 2004 he returned to Croatia, again on loan, with Inter Zapresic, whom Luka helped to second place in the league before returning to Dinamo.

Over the next three years he established himself as the team's playmaker and played a big part in the club's three successive league title triumphs and two Croatian Cup wins before deciding to join Spurs.
