Southampton boss Ronald Koeman insists Morgan Schneiderlin is not for sale.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino remains desperate to raid his old club for midfielder Schneiderlin, after a move for the France World Cup star fell through in the summer.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is also preparing a transfer window swoop for Schneiderlin.
But last night Saints chief Koeman said: "The attitude of Morgan is fantastic, everybody knows he had a difficult time in the summer but he has accepted his situation and performed well. We will not sell him - no matter who bids for him."
Koeman, whose side travel to Burnley this weekend, admitted: "The Europa League now has to be the target. We dream of finishing higher, but we have to be realistic."
