Dinamo Zagreb's disgraced former director Zdravko Mamic has sensationally claimed that Dejan Lovren and Luka Modric were involved a £13million embezzlement row that has seen him sentenced to six-and-a-half years in prison.
On the week that Tottenham travel to Croatia to face Zagreb in the Europa League, the club are in crisis with their manager also having quit while himself facing a four-and-a-half year sentence for fraud.
But is is ex-director Mamic who is making all the headlines ahead of the game, having fled across the border to Bosnia to hold a press conference at a five-star hotel before giving himself up to police.
