Tottenham will not consider allowing Harry Winks to leave on-loan in January.
Winks, 25, has made just one Premier League start this season.
He wants to go out on loan for the second half of the campaign to get some games under his belt, and is even willing to go abroad.
Everton are among a number of Prem clubs also said to be interested in taking the star, who has 10 England caps.
But Spurs still see Winks as a key back-up member of their squad and believe he could have an important role to play in the busy New Year fixture schedule, says The Sun.
Especially if, as expected, they make it through to the latter stages of the Europa Conference League.
