Tottenham offered Victor Wanyama to Olympique Marseille last month, it has been revealed.
The Kenya international was up for sale over the summer and came close to joining Club Brugge.
France Football says as talks stalled with the Belgians, Spurs made contact with OM about his availability.
OM could've taken Wanyama on-loan with an 8m option to buy, but passed on the midfielder.
Instead, they focused on signing Valentin Rongier from Nantes.
