Morgan Schneiderlin has cast fresh doubt on his future at Southampton.
The Mirror says the south coast club have offered the French midfielder a deal of around £50,000-per-week, but the player is reluctant to sign and there is belief he could attempt to force a move.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants to make another bid for his former Saints player in January, when they also hope to recruit England midfielder Fabian Delph from Aston Villa.
25-year-old Schneiderlin has also attracted serious interest from Arsenal, who are keen to sign a midfield anchorman next month.
