SPURS new boy Luka Modric spoke of his delight at completing his £15.8million move to White Hart Lane.

The Dinamo Zagreb midfielder is reported to have agreed a five-year deal at White Hart Lane, pending a medical.

The 22-year-old is set to become the north London clubs' second biggest transfer after Darren Bent, and Modric believes that Spurs have the ability to finally compete with the big clubs in the Premier League and in Europe.

"I'm happy to be joining such a big club, stated the Croatian midfielder.

"It will be a real pleasure to play in the English league which is the best in Europe, with three English clubs in the semi-finals of the Champions League."

Dinamo sporting director Zoran Mamic added: "We're very happy. Luka is leaving for an environment where he's going to progress, while Dinamo showed that we know how to do good deals."
