The Croatian is currently a minority investor in the club

Luka Modric's former Tottenham team-mate says the Croatian could still do a job for Swansea City - even at the age of 41.

Alan Hutton played with Modric for three years, and says that despite his advancing years, the World Cup finalist still has the ability needed to make an impact as a player.

However, he admits a move to south Wales looks unlikely.

Rapper Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart are among the other investors to have come on board since Modric's involvement was confirmed.

The former Real Madrid star, who is currently on the books at AC Milan, is yet to visit the Swansea.com Stadium, but Hutton believes his involvement will be a huge benefit to the Welsh side, even going so far as to suggest he could still play a key role as a player under Vitor Matos.

"Luka Modric probably could run games for Swansea at 41," he told FootballPredictions.com.

"I still remember him when he first came to Tottenham for about sixteen million and it took him a little time to kind of bed in and things, but when he got going, I've never seen a player like it.

"So comfortable, so cultured, outside of the right foot, left foot, he could do everything.

"And to still be playing, with everything that he's done in his career to this point, to still want to be involved is quite incredible."

But while Hutton thinks the ageless Croatian has the ability to pull the strings in a Swans midfield, he doesn't see him pulling on a Swans shirt any time soon.

Even so, he hopes the veteran will be given the chance to have an input on footballing decisions at the club.

"Do I think he'll go and play with Swansea? No, I don't. That's my honest opinion.

"But to be invested in a football club, I hope that he would have a say in it because he's got so much to give in terms of his knowledge and what he's done in the past.

"So it's brilliant to see."
