Luka Modric says he is almost certain to remain at Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season amid fresh speculation over his future.

Although Modric made clear his desire to join Chelsea in the summer, Spurs chairman Daniel Levy remained steadfast in his refusal to sell the Croatia midfielder - and no move came to pass.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp said afterwards that the club would offer Modric a new contract on significantly improved terms, but no deal has yet been signed and speculation over the festive period claimed Manchester United could make a move in January.

However, asked about the continued rumours over his future, Modric told Sportske Novosti: "All this talk is just in the press - I don't know anything about any of these supposed offers.

"We are doing our best to ensure Tottenham get the results the fans and the club demand. Given the current situation, and particularly given the fact I don't want a repeat of what I went through during the summer transfer window, I can say with almost 100% certainty that I'll be staying at Tottenham until the end of the season.

"I would always say that, theoretically, there is a small chance I could leave, if the club receive a suitable offer and it's one I wouldn't want to turn down, but the reality is that I expect to stay at Spurs until June, and then we will see.

"Everything is possible, but it's not something I'm concerning myself with. So long as I am fit and playing well, I'm happy just to see what happens."

He added: "If I stay at Tottenham, nothing will change. I will give my all in every game."

Recent reports have suggested Modric will be offered a £100,000-a-week deal to stay at White Hart Lane.
