Big-money summer signing eager to prove his worth

Luka Modric is confident he will prove his worth to Tottenham and help Juande Ramos challenge for a place in the top four. Spurs struggled in the league last season during a transitional campaign, but secured silverware by lifting the Carling Cup with victory over Chelsea in February. The departure of Robbie Keane and continued speculation over the future of Dimitar Berbatov has caused concern among many fans at White Hart Lane. But Croatia international Modric, signed in a £16.5million deal from Dynamo Zagreb, believes Spurs have enough quality in their squad to be a Premier League force.

Threaten

Ramos has also brought in David Bentley from Blackburn, goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes and Giovani Dos Santos to bolster his ranks. And Modric said: "I will justify the money Tottenham invested in me. The first target has to be to threaten the big four. "We're capable of achieving some really good results."
