Croatia midfielder Luka Modric has signed a new six-year deal with Tottenham Hotspur, saying he had no interest in a move to the 'big clubs' that had made enquiries about him.
The 24-year-old, who joined the Premier League club in July 2008, has signed a contract to stay at White Hart Lane until 2016.
"Tottenham Hotspur gave me my chance in the Premier League and I want to go on to achieve great success here with them," Modric said on the club's website (www.tottenhamhotspur.com) on Sunday.
"Yes, there have been enquiries from other big clubs, but I have no interest in going anywhere. Last season's top four finish was an indication of where we are as a club and I feel I can continue to improve and go on to achieve everything I want to at Spurs."
Modric had been linked in the media with a possible move to fellow Premier League sides Manchester United and Chelsea.
Everton sign free agent Beckford
Everton have signed striker Jermaine Beckford on a four-year deal, the Premier League club said on Monday (www.evertonfc.com).
The 26-year-old scored 31 goals for promoted League One (third division) side Leeds United last season before being released from his contract at Elland Road.
A former Chelsea youngster, Beckford hit the headlines last season by scoring to knock Manchester United out of the FA Cup at Old Trafford.
