The 50 Best Tottenham Players of the Premier League Era
4. Luka Modrić
Position: Central midfielder
Years Served: 2008-2012
Stats: 160 appearances, 17 goals, 27 assists
A central midfielder who possessed all the tools to make him one of the best in the world: great vision, good passing ability, short or long distances, use of both feet and great positioning off the ball. When Luka Modrić joined Tottenham he would become even more versatile. Harry Redknapp deployed the Croatian as a defensive midfielder who still possessed the natural abilities of an offensive playmaker.
Four years with Tottenham was too short of a career but Modrić helped Spurs become a good club to join at a young age and have some of your best years while wearing Lilywhite.
