Andre Villas-Boas criticises Luka Modric

Andre Villas-Boas admits that he is disappointed with the conduct of Luka Modric as speculation over his future rumbles on.

Andre Villas-Boas has slammed Luka Modric and admitted that he is disappointed with his behaviour.

A number of reports have indicated that Modric has failed to travel on Tottenham Hotspur's tour of the United States as the Croatian tries to secure a transfer.

Villas-Boas told AS: "I think Modric is wrong. This will go against him. He has worsened the situation with what he's doing and now the chairman (Daniel Levy) is very angry.

"This is also not a good time for Daniel Levy, who is in the USA at the moment, because his wife is ill."

The Portuguese coach also revealed that he tried to sign Modric at Chelsea last summer and rates him highly as a player.

He said: "He's good, very good. I tried to sign him last summer for Chelsea. He will be a big loss. He's a player who can make the difference, who gives a lot of clarity to the play when the team needs it and who can play in several positions."

Villas-Boas will look to rebuild Spurs as they step up pre-season preparations ahead of their Premier League opener against Newcastle on August 18.
