Victor Wanyama has not travelled to join the Kenyan national team as planned on Monday morning, according to Sky sources.
Wanyama was left out of Ronald Koeman's squad for Southampton's 3-0 win over Norwich at the weekend as the manager felt he was not "mentally and physically good enough to play".
Sky sources understand the 24-year-old has asked to leave the Premier League club, with former Saints manager Maurico Pochettio keen on bringing him to Tottenham.
Koeman is desperate to keep him at St Mary's having already lost fellow midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin to Manchester United this summer.
The Southampton boss insisted Wanyama and Sadio Mane, who has been reportedly linked with Manchester United, would not be leaving before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
Koeman told Sky Sports following Sunday's win: "They will stay in Southampton, I'm 100 per cent sure about that.
"The same answer for Victor as for Sadio, we don't sell that kind of player because they are key players for the team and they have to respect the contract. That's most important".
