United close in on £17m Kagawa and weigh up bid for Spurs star Modric


Manchester United are closing in on a £17million deal for Borussia Dortmund midfielder Shinji Kagawa and are considering a fresh move for Tottenham’s Luka Modric.

Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said that ‘both sides want to conclude the deal’.

United have increased their original offer, despite the 23-year-old only having one year left on contract, as they recognise there is massive commercial potential in signing the Japan international.
