Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Luka Modric is flattered by claims Liverpool want to sign him.

Reports in England suggested Tottenham had made moves to try and land the highly-rated Croat, who has also been linked with Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea in recent months.

But the media in his homeland claim it is Liverpool who have made a firm offer for the 22-year-old, who looks certain to leave Dinamo in the summer.

Modric is already a lynch-pin of the Croatia national side and his club would be looking for around £18million for their prized asset.

Modric told Vecernji list: "I don't wish to discuss possible transfers, but if Liverpool really want me, then this is fantastic and I am truly honoured.

"I watched the Champions League quarter-finals and the way they crushed Arsenal. Only the greatest and the best can play such a match against strong Arsenal."
