da casino: Chelsea have already seen two bids for the Croatia midfielder turned down, but England captain Terry has made it clear that Modric would be welcomed with open arms should he complete the transfer.
“He’s a world-class player who is very difficult to play against,” Terry told Sky Sports News.
“He’s very agile, very quick and a great finisher like we’ve seen over many years.”
“We’ve got a good squad of players. If he comes he could certainly add to that.”
Terry also believes that Fernando Torres will be back to his best in the coming season after enduring a season blighted by injury and poor form.
“He backs himself,” Terry said. “He realises from the World Cup he had a slight injury and carried that towards the end of last season.”
“He feels fresh, he’s happy. He’s fully settled. I’m certainly looking for him to get double figures, goals-wise.”
“He was still good at times last year. He’s a world-class player and the price tag is a big weight to carry on your shoulders.”
“He’s got all the ability in the world. He’s very quick and a great finisher.”
“We’re delighted to have him and if he can bring goals along with what we already have then fantastic.”
