Tottenham are trying to buy the latest 'new Luka Modric' - teenage sensation Nikola Vlasic - in a £3million deal.

Spurs have made an approach to Hajduk Split for attacking midfielder Vlasic after watching him score in their Europa League qualifier last week.

Vlasic is just 16 but already in the Hajduk side and being chased by several major clubs. However, Spurs - where the REAL Luka Modric spent four years from 2008 - want to step in first and sign him immediately.

The youngster is rated at £6m by Hajduk, but Spurs hope to agree a figure quickly - as they know how much they made selling Modric on to Real Madrid two years go.

Vlasic has also been closely tracked by Chelsea and Real Madrid, who were both at Hajduk's Europe League game against Irish side Dundalk last week.
