Southampton are reluctant doing business with Tottenham.
The news could jeopardise Nuno Espirito Santo's plans for Saints striker Danny Ings.
Nuno is desperate to sign the 28-year-old striker, who has rejected a contract extension from Southampton.
The Portuguese want Ings to play alongside England captain Harry Kane in a front two next season.
But the relationship between the two clubs is at an all-time low, according to the Evening Standard.
The outlet quotes sources from Saints stating that relations with Spurs had turned sour when negotiating Pierre-Emilie Hojbjerg's transfer last summer,
The south coast club were annoyed with Spurs trying to turn Hojbjerg's head early, as well as Daniel Levy's hardball approach.
