Juventus swoop for Tottenham's Luka Modric and West Ham's Valon Behrami

Published 00:00 21/12/08 By By Sunday Mirror Sport

Claudio Ranieri is planning a double raid on the Premier League to bolster his squad for his return to Stamford Bridge.

Former Chelsea boss Ranieri heads to west London for the first time since owner Roman Abramovich dismissed him when his Juventus face the Blues in the Champions League. And the Tinkerman is desperate to inject some Premier League experience into his side. He is planning to offer Harry Redknapp a cash-plus-player deal in a bid to land Spurs playmaker Luka Modric.

Ranieri will offer striker Vincenzo Iaquinta as part-exchange. Modric could be joined in Turin by West Ham winger Valon Behrami.
