Chelsea Owner Offers £40m For Luka Modric

[emezico]

Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, has launched one last £40million bid to prise Luka Modric from Tottenham and add more guile to Chelsea's stuttering midfield.

Abramovich made Modric one of his top targets and the player publicly pushed for a lucrative move to Stamford Bridge and the chance to play Champions League football.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has rejected offers of £22m and £27m but Chelsea's Russian owner is determined to test the north London club's resolve to the limit before Wednesday night's closure of the transfer window.
