It is now official ladies and gentlemen, Vedran Ćorluka is headed to London to team up with Luka Modrić and the Tottenham Hotspur. After much speculation if the move would ever be made, Tottenham has finally made it official that ‘Ćarli’ is theirs.
As I’ve stated before, based on Ćorluka’s behavior while playing for Manchester City; he simply seemed miserable. He played hard as always but didn’t have that same flair he held when playing for the Croatian national team. Ćorluka pleaded for City to sell him to Tottenham when the deal was first brought up- and now his dream has finally come true. Playing for a top 5 contender in the Premiership alongside Modrić should definitely lift Ćorluka’s spirits; and I’m sure living in London won’t hurt compared to the exile he was used to in Manchester.
It should be fun for Croatian fans to watch the two ex-Dinamo players team up while playing together on such a large stage in England. Much is expected of Tottenham this season with all the recent signings they have made. Let’s just hope it lives up to the hype.
I thank Joze and the few ‘Anonymous’ readers around the site for breaking the story. I appreciate everyone being on their ‘A’ game since the new season has started. I was just waiting for more news media to make the story official- and now it is!
