Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Luka Modric, a target for Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea, says he is flattered by claims Liverpool now 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 the Gunners, 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 prize 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."
