FOOTBALL; MODRIC ARUDI ZOEZINI

'He's had a lot of interest in him before but he has behaved very professionally. This is the first time he has acted like this. We don't know what sort of advice he is receiving.
'We are not so sure where he is at the moment. As far as I know he is back in London.'
Modric has already been fined £80,000 after failing to attend pre-season training last week and then snubbing the club's tour

Wantaway Luka Modric looked glum as he finally returned to Tottenham today.
The Croatian midfielder is desperate to quit Spurs with Real Madrid leading Manchester United in the chase for his signature.
Modric tried and failed to walk out last summer when Chelsea came calling.
And he again finds himself struggling to force his way through the exit as Spurs play hardball.

Modric looked far from happy as he trained alongside Steven Pienaar - another out his way out with a return to Everton on the cards - at their Spurs Lodge base.
New manager Andre Villas-Boas and chairman Daniel Levy are demanding £40million for Modric.
But it is unlikely that Madrid boss Jose Mourinho will want to splash out any more than £30m, while Sir Alex Ferguson will refuse to go that high.


That means Modric may have little choice but to stay at the club for another season.
After returning from his post-Euro 2012 break, Modric refused to join his team-mates on the flight to their pre-season training camp in Los Angeles.
However, he is now set to join up with his team-mates on America's West Coast later this week.

On Monday, Villas-Boas criticised Modric, saying: 'We understand this type of player revolt is not new but clubs have to protect themselves. We have to hold on to our values.
'The player is under club discipline. The chairman feels the way he has behaved is not common, professional behaviour.
'We've been open with him, saying we are ready to listen to offers for him, which is uncommon.
