According to Croatia's Nogometni Magazin, Luka Modric is set for a move from Dinamo Zagreb to none other than Chelsea in the January transfer window. With Arsenal, Juventus and AC Milan also monitoring the player, Dinamo Zagreb can essentially name their price for the 22 year old international. And it seems that Chelsea are set not only to match that, but also Modric's financial and footballing ambitions. The attack-minded youngster is said to be eager to join up with Avram Grant's side, the Chelsea manager having watched him in action against both England and Macedonia. Indeed, tycoon Roman Abramovich has agreed to bankroll Chelsea's bid based on the input of the manager and the scouting staff. Now, with the winter transfer window set to open in January, Modric may well be on the way to Stamford Bridge in just over a month - unless another bidder makes themself known.

I get the feeling if/when we sign him (I beleive a deal will go through in January) he will more often than not be playing on the wing.

 
Apparently the Dynamo Zagreb president is in London today attempting to start an auction for Modric.

 
Why the hell does Arse need this guy. He looks like a clone of Rosicky. Also i thionk that Chelsea shuld definitely buy him. He will offer somethign different with all the bodybuilders or say musclemen around. We payed 19 million for Mikel when we didnt need him. We already had essien. Why purchase Mikel then? Instead of wasting millions on ronaldinho we shuld but this guy and turn him into a new Ronaldinho. Also Barca is interested in him so it will be very difficult to get him as he wants to play in Spain.

Yep here's the Guardian take on it, £18m+ seems a hell of a lot to me, is he worth it and do we need him?

We payed 16mill for Obi, was he worth it? We payed 20+ for Swp who was worth around 7+.As if it needs reminding we payed 30+ for sheva who was 29 at the time. What i m saying is that this guy is 22 so it dusnt matter as long as it is below 20.

We bought Essien for 26m, was he worth it? HELL YES

 
There's no danger of Arsenal getting embroiled in a bidding war, it's not their style.

 
no, arsenal's bidding on Benzema, so everyone can forget abotu signing him.

Exactly.

So we buy Modric and Grant has to fit him into our already over crowded midfield and keep the players pushed to one side to accommodate him happy.

As if we don't have enough problems at the moment.

Although I guess if we don't try to buy him now we will never get him.

 
Incedently im not sure but last time i cheaked the rules i didnt see anything restiricting clubs from having more than one creative player

He is not coming to chelsea. Many of the papers are now saying that he has snubbed Chelsea.

He will be heading towards Barca in the summer. Spain is his preffered destination and somehow he thinks that barca are going to come for him to replace ageing Deco.
