Victor Wanyama's future is still up in the air ahead of this evening's transfer deadline.
The Kenyan midfielder has really struggled with injuries over the past couple of seasons and looks a shadow of the player who really caught the eye in his first season at the club.
With his summer move to Club Brugge falling through, many believed that he would be on his way this month having only played in four games for the Lilywhites this term.
Celtic have been linked with a late move for their former man but time is running out for the 28-year-old to move on and get regular football elsewhere.
Jose Mourinho was quizzed about what exactly is happening with the ex-Southampton man ahead of the deadline and he outlined his vision for Spurs' midfield in the future.
"If he is not playing it is because in my eyes, and that is always different but in the end always the head coach that makes the decisions," he told the press at Hotspur Way.
"In my eyes I see more the team going to the future with young Winks, English, young, national team player. I see more the team going in that direction.
"A great investment on Tanguy Ndombele which sooner or later has to arrive to certain levels of performance.
"So it is not easy for Victor. But staying with us, if he stays and normally he stays, working hard like he does every day, untouchable on his commitment and professionalism. If he stays with us he is always on my plans."
Then asked if Wanyama can leave before the deadline, he added: "I don't know, at this moment no.
"At this moment we don't have any offers, we don't have Victor knocking on our door asking for understanding in a situation to leave."
